Well...I heard somewhere (csi) that the person will look to the left when they're lying and to the right when they're remebering but i think that's crap. Besides it depends what kind of lying they're doing. If they're lying just for the hell of it they'll say a bunch of bullshit that is obviously a lie. When it comes to lying about other things a lot of the time they'll say one thing and then turn around and say something else. If you axe them to repeat the story they'll change even more stuff. But REALLY BAD liars tend to fidget and look away while lying which really gives them away. I don't think this is helping you much but i get point thingys....i don't know why i care about them so much... :D

No sure fire way. Lie detector can most of the time but it's not full-proof as these can give false results or some can even deceive the lie detectors. Studying body language is usually the most readily of ways to detect deceit. There are books on reading body language to detect lying but I don't recall any of the titles.

Depends on the person.
You would have to hook me up to a monitor to tell if I was lying.
I don't have very much of a social conscience and if it serves my purpose. Consider yourself lied to...
You would have to be smart enough to ask me... I only admit it when I get caught. I figure if you're too dumb to tell the difference, you probably deserved it anyway! But if you were smart enough to catch it... You deserve the truth.
Have a nice day!

if someone is lieing to you and there telling a story they look up and to the left, this means there lieing. If they look up and to the right there searching there brain for descriptions which means there telling the truth....I seen this on the Discovery Channel before.

They will fidget their hands or feet, either look up or down, never making eye contact with you, often will say "um" or "uh," stuttering, contradicting what they have said earlier,
