What if you could give a lie detector test to..

The following post comes from my "What If…?" Board!

Welcome to the "What If…?" Board!

At a lost for what to write about next?
Looking for story ideas?
Need a spark to put an end to writer's block?
Maybe all you need to get the creative juices flowing is a little "What if…?".
That's what the "What If…?" board is for.

Each thread on this board, is based on the "What If…?" theory.
What if so-and-so hadn't been there to stop such-and-such from happening?
How would the events have been differant if this had happened instead of that?

Pick a "What if..?" and use it to start a new story.
Than try writing a differant story on the same "What if…?" story starter.
Think of the smaller "What ifs…?" withing your story as well:

"What if the main character was male instead of female?"
"What if it had taken place in the 1800's instead?"
"What if you wrote it as a horror this time instead of a romance?

My goal with this board is to help you find new ideas and expand your writing skills.
Feel free to start a thread, with your own "What if…?" story starter.
Enjoy and have fun!  

What if you could give a "lie detector" test to… anyone, and the results would be published for the world to see, who would you choose and what would ask them?

now granted that the tests we have today are said to be easy to fool… lets take this thought one step farther…

pretend that you have traveled a thousand years into the future and lie-detector tests are now so advanced that no one can fool them… than also asume that there is a way to contact the dead using the future-lie-detecor-test-thingy…

Who would you give the test to? and What question (s) would you ask them?

It can be anyone… you fave rock star, you most hated poliician, that creep that lives next door, your ex, your graeat-grandma who you never meet, your lover, someone you admire, someone you hate, a stranger, a friend, whatever… anyone… who would it be?

My answer would be:

Who:

Jack The Ripper & The Zodiac Killer

Questions:

Why did you do it?
What event took place in your life that caused you to commit such crimes?
What was your childhood like?
Were you married?
Did you have a family?
Did they know you were who you were?

oh yeah… and can I write a book about you based on your answers?

Jesus…

yeah, I'd love to take everything that preachers say Jesus would say and do and ask him if he REALY would say and do those things or not… it would be interesting to see how far from the truth "his words" have gotten over the years.

and last... 

Jim Thomas, Ken Shoop, and the rest of the OOB Town Hall workers… Why did you do this to us? What do you get out of it?
