Pinocchio is Real?!

In 1883, a writer named Carlo Collodi wrote one of the most famous children’s books of all time. The story was of a peddler that wanted a son SO bad that he made a puppet which came to life and so he adopted him as his son and called him Pinocchio. But enough of that! My point lies in the real moral of this story. Never tell a lie. In the story, every time Pinocchio lied his nose grew larger; this eventually taught him a valuable lesson. Wouldn’t it be nice to be able to tell if someone was lying just by looking at their nose? Of course it would! Researchers from the University of Granada in Spain recently discovered that your nose actually can show whether or not you’re lying. Of course a lie can’t make a person’s nose grow like Pinocchio’s did but it definitely can make it heat up. Heat up? Yes! Those psychology researchers in Spain have found that when a person lies, the temperature around their nose and inner corner of their eye increases. Crazy, right? Maybe we should all consider investing in a thermal imaging camera..just to play it safe!
