No, Chunkerbutt, I'm just a paranoid conspiracy theorist.

actually there are seven signs and here they are
Seven Common Signs of Lying
1.
No eye contact. Generally, if someone is lying they will not look you in the eye, at least during a certain part of the conversation. Normally, people make eye contact for at least half of a conversation, so anything less than this could be suspicious. One caveat: there are some people who will take great pains to make eye contact with you even if they're lying, simply to make you think they're not.
2.
Change in voice. A change in the pitch of a person's tone, or a lot of stammering (umm, ah), or throat clearing could indicate a lie.
3.
Unusual body language. If a person taps their foot a lot, fidgets with their hands, raises their shoulders, turns away from you or brings their hand to their face (to touch their chin or nose, etc.) -- in other words, if they act nervous or uncomfortable -- it could mean they're telling a lie. Also watch out for blushing (or becoming pale) and increased blinking.
4.
Something sounds fishy. Making statements that contradict each other, are inconsistent or don't sound quite right are usually part of a lie.
5.
Overly defensive. Sometimes when a person is lying they will become extremely defensive, refusing to answer any questions and even accusing you of lying. This may mean they have something to hide.
6.
Changes subject easily. If someone is lying and you change the subject, chances are high that they'll go right along with it. A person telling the truth, however, will likely ask why you changed the subject and want to go back to it.
7.
Humor or sarcasm. A guilty person will often try to change the subject using humor or sarcasm.

I agree with blank..those are excellent indicators...take into perspective though of the situation..if someone is talking about something they are ashamed of, not dealt with or have a low self esteem, they may not have eye contact, fidget and their voice tone may change...also if someone changes the subject..it may be taken as the listener is not interested in what the talker is saying...great question

Well, I guess when ppl lie the fist indicator is that they get nervous and cant look you at the eyes, is like if they are embarrased and sometimes they sweat and speak with difficulty (like saying words with nonsence at all).
Believe me I know that for personal experience.

For the lifeless elevate, you employ your legs which will properly be very sturdy even for a "weaker" individual, so i could doubt him a splash, even nonetheless it somewhat is greater possible....make the guy instruct it. notice: whilst making him instruct it, make beneficial somebody is there to make beneficial he would not overwhelm his chest or injury his returned whilst attempting to impact human beings.

One indicator is blinking of the eyes, another is staring upward as if to be imagining the lie as they are telling it. Those are only two that I am sure of.

they might ask you to repeat the quest and then say "uhh...ehh..." or stall for an answer, if they're telling the truth then they'll be able to say it quickly and fluently. i also heard that if the look left...or was it right... that they're also lying. don't take my word on that last sentence though.
