__My definition of the truth: __ The truth is part of our every day lives. We say it, teach it, talk about it and yes, tell it. But as humans we are not always very truthful. If someone asks you if they look nice in horrible a dress, do you say that it looks terrible? Or do you tell a lie and say that they look amazing? The truth is not always easy to tell as shown in this trailer for the Jim Carey movie, //Liar Liar//.

According to the Oxford Dictionary the truth means 'being true; loyalty, accuracy, intergrity etc; what is true, true statement, account, belief, etc; reality, fact.'

A lie means 'intentional false statement; imposture; false belief.'

List as many books, movies, songs, nursery rhymes or fairy tales that refer to the truth or lack of it! (We'll find a prize for whoever can think of the most). []

As you can see from this video, a number of people assumed that they could take (steal) items from the Salvation Army. Today Tonight investigated this case and put a theory to the test.

An admiral chair worth $250 dollars was stolen from the Salvation Army. It was installed with a tracking device so that if the chair was stolen, the Salvation Army would be able to find it and possibly charge the thief. But when they found the chair, the owner was not the theif. The owner stated that she had bought it from an 'op' shop three months ago. But the women was lying because the chair had stolen nine days before.

It was amazing how prepared people were to tell a lie. In truth, how many Australians are willing to lie?

This week, Mrs Bradley introduced us to a new part of the Truth semester: Lying in Ads. So remember those cheesy, American ads trying to sell their 'Ab Circle Pro' system? Well I found a new video that proves the 'Ab Circle Pro' system wrong.

**__Mirrors: __** **__How they warp, bend & stretch the Truth __** **__Definition of Mirror: __**** image-reflecting surface, piece of furniture provided with such surface. **  Mirrors are useful household items. We use them to primp, do our hair or to see how something looks. The surface of the mirror reflects our movements, showing us our mirror image. **__<span style="font-family: 'Century Gothic','sans-serif'; font-size: 19px;">Luna Park __** <span style="font-family: 'Century Gothic','sans-serif'; font-size: 19px;">If you have been to Luna Park, you will remember the warped mirrors near the photo stand. The mirrors make you seem shorter, taller, fatter, slimmer and even warped! Although the mirrors don’t show us what we really look like, they’re great fun.

**__<span style="font-family: 'Century Gothic','sans-serif'; font-size: 19px;">“Mirror, mirror on the wall, who is the fairest of them all?” __**

<span style="font-family: 'Century Gothic','sans-serif'; font-size: 19px;">However, did you know that shopping centres and dressing rooms are full of warped mirrors, similar to the mirrors at Luna Park? The mirrors make you appear taller and thinner, giving you a better body shape in the product. Shops will do anything to make money, whether it be lying to customers, or in this case, warping mirrors. **__<span style="font-family: 'Century Gothic','sans-serif'; font-size: 19px;">So how can you stop yourself from being fooled? __**
 * **<span style="font-family: 'Century Gothic','sans-serif'; font-size: 19px;">When shopping, always have a camera close at hand. **<span style="font-family: 'Century Gothic','sans-serif'; font-size: 19px;"> Take a photo of you in the clothes you are about to buy and see how you //really// look in them.


 * **<span style="font-family: 'Century Gothic','sans-serif'; font-size: 19px;">Bring a friend along **<span style="font-family: 'Century Gothic','sans-serif'; font-size: 19px;"> (make sure the person is honest and willing to ‘tell it like it is’!). Another person’s opinion is always helpful.

**__<span style="font-family: 'Century Gothic','sans-serif'; font-size: 16px;">Painless Poetry __** **__<span style="font-family: 'Century Gothic','sans-serif'; font-size: 16px;">When hearing the hurtful truth: __** <span style="display: block; font-family: 'century gothic','sans-serif'; font-size: 16px; text-align: center;">Truth is red. <span style="display: block; font-family: 'century gothic','sans-serif'; font-size: 16px; text-align: center;">It tastes like an unexpected blast of hot chilli in your mouth. <span style="display: block; font-family: 'century gothic','sans-serif'; font-size: 16px; text-align: center;">Truth smells like a burning fire. <span style="display: block; font-family: 'century gothic','sans-serif'; font-size: 16px; text-align: center;">The truth looks like a photograph that is hundreds of years old. <span style="display: block; font-family: 'century gothic','sans-serif'; font-size: 16px; text-align: center;">It sounds like nails scraping across blackboard. //Screech, screech, screech.// <span style="display: block; font-family: 'century gothic','sans-serif'; font-size: 16px; text-align: center;">The hurtful truth makes you feel like nothing will ever be the same again.
 * **<span style="font-family: 'Century Gothic','sans-serif'; font-size: 19px;">Be on your guard. **<span style="font-family: 'Century Gothic','sans-serif'; font-size: 19px;">Make sure that you recognise a warped mirror, whether it makes you look tall and slim or short and wide.
