Rice has a Tell

[Monkeyman]

She up in front of the Foreign Relation Committee when she is not telling the whole truth lines on her for head go up. When she is out right lying lines go up and she looks away. Dam this old poker player did not see it for a long time until now.

6. Because you weren't playing poker with her?

How many different kinds of "tells" are there? And is it possible for something that's a "tell" for one person but be meaningless for another.? For instance, it's supposed to be a tell to blink a lot, right? But it could also mean "My contacts are bothering me" or "These lights are too bright," couldn't it?

Is leaning forward always an indication of a lie? I've heard that, but I also remember a psychologist in an in-service workshops for high school teachers telling the teachers to lean forward during parent conferences, to show empathy with the parent, interest in the student, etc. Of course, this guy also thought high school students could be motivated by scratch 'n' sniff stickers. . .

7. According to Vincent Coccotti, a character Christopher Walken played in True Romance:

Coccotti: Sicilians are great liars. The best in the world. I'm a Sicilian. And my old man was the world heavyweight champion of Sicilian liars. And from growin' up with him I learned the pantomime. Now there are seventeen different things a guy can do when he lies to give him away. A guy has seventeen pantomimes. A woman's got twenty, but a guy's got seventeen. And if you know 'em like ya know your own face, they beat lie detectors to hell. What we got here is a little game of show and tell. You don't wanna show me nothin'. But you're tellin' me everything. Now I know you know where they are. So tell me, before I do some damage you won't walk away from.

Holy crap, that is the best movie scene ever!

8. I think the array of lines on her forehead...

are just the wrinkles in the eyelid of her third eye (apparently, she's an alien); or, it's an antenna array under the skin she uses to attempt to control the minds of her listeners.

Alas, in line with the idea that her biggest 'tell' is that her lips move when she's lying, her forehead wrinkles at just about everything she says (whether or not it's something she probably thinks is a technically true falsehood).
