You’re a Better Liar When You Have to do This [VIDEO]

If you want to get away with a lie, just drink a ton of water, wait a little while and cross your fingers while you cross your legs.

When it comes to studying human behavior, I often ask myself, "how did they come up with this idea?" Are there a bunch of scientist who sit in a room, at a whiteboard and brainstorm ways to determine how to get more sleep, figure out how many selfies we take each year, or this- ways to be a better liar? The answer is "yes", there is. Someone actually thought it would be a brilliant idea to see if having to pee would make us a better liar.  And the results?

According to a new study at Cal State Fullerton, you ARE better at lying when you have to pee.  It's because of something called the "inhibitory spillover effect".  Our brains are wired to tell the truth, and you have to suppress that urge when you lie;  which is easier to do if you're already suppressing another urge, like having to use the bathroom.

Do you believe this?

Here's further proof.

Note to self, always be wary of having conversations with people who are cross legged and frantically kicking their foot.
