pezz, You do not have to believe me. The nose-touching phenomenon is just one factor in body language that is known. All polygraph tests are simply more quantified methods of measuring body language...and even they are not infall able. It has been shown that pathological liars pass polygraph tests with flying colors. This is probably due to the effect that they are more comfortable with telling lies as opposed to the truth. In fact, getting back to Bill Clinton, he seems to be one of those rare people who are more comfortable with telling lies than telling the truth. I remember reading this old article by the former Clinton advisor George Stephanopolis about how they one had a meeting in '92 about his draft record. George Stephanopolis begged Clinton to simply tell the truth; that the Viet Nam war was a horrible wrong, that dodging the draft was a form of protest, and that the American people would probably accept the truth that he had dodged the draft. Bill Clinton of course, went on to claim that he had never been drafted. We now know this to be a lie. Oh well...in the words of Senator Patrick Moynahan, "SO what?" -John
