h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

I think most of us lie about little things quite alot. Most of us probably lie about big things too sometimes, especially if we feel that the topic at hand is no one else's fragging business. Anyone who tells you they've never lied is fibbing. The really ugly lies, though, are the ones invented just to prove you wrong. Consider, for example, the lies fabricated by bigots for the sake of making other people feel bad, or the lies told by (some not all) high government officials which result in terrible wars.
