    Gullible facts- does this mean that the facts on this site are what people believe are true but aren't?

    Believe whatever you want.

    Why do people assume that because the website is called Gullible that you're gullible if you believe the stuff here? Doesn't anyone realize that there might be some other plausible explanation for the name?

  4.  

    I can think of a paulsible explanation. And I find things here are more believable than (say) CSI.

    All of the science in the show is realistic, but the fact that a group of cops has priority access to a crime lab 24/7, and can run all the tests they want, not so much.

    Yeah. Plus, in real life, even with the proper equipment, it can take months to match a fingerprint or perform many of the other test they do on the show.

    And they always go to court so quickly!! My case won't be ready until January.

    On top of that, no real CSI is a pretty as Greg Sandars...:cool:

    Yeah -- I've read a few interviews where they admit the time compression is off the charts.

    After re-reading this, (s)he's got an interesting viewpoint - more like, 'the gullifacts are generated by popular opinion' rather than our hard work. Not the usual 'all your stuff is BS' BS.

    As Kris Kristofferson wrote, "Truth is just another word for nothing left to lose."

    I'm pretty sure you mean "freida", which means "nothing left to lose" in Catalan (the official language of Andorra).

    Did Janice and Bobby move to Andorra?

    That would be Janis. Janice was one of my friends in college. How could you confuse them?

  16.  

    Very sorry. I get them confused. I hope Janice was as popular as Janis.

    Janisian? She must be Armenian. (All Armenian names seem to end in "ian".) "At Seventeen" is one of my favorite songs of the era, but it's eclipsed by my love for "Chuck E.'s in Love".

    My wife has Jazzercise with Joan Baez sometimes, but I don't think they've ever spoken.

    Joan Baez's father was a professor at my alma mater.

    How about the part where detectives have around a hundred cases to handle all at once, not just one or two?
