   I would say another popular one would be, "My car wouldn't start for some reason."

   "Don't worry, she was already dead"

   "I did not eat your dog"

   "I forgot the kid was in the backseat when I went in to shop"

   "I'm sterile"

   A "study" by 20th Century Fox Home Entertainment? Something tells me that this might actually be a promotional gimmick for some upcoming film about lies.

   This story is a fake. Consider the other stories this "Newspaper" considered their Editor's best picks.

   # The woman with a chronic fear of... kneecaps
   #

   SUZANNE MOORE: Man, woman or dignified hermaphrodite? Caster must decide, no one else
   #

   Pictured: The Queen staying at a Best Western hotel (or is it really her?)

   PETER HITCHENS: Our children can't hold a knife and fork, so what does UNESCO teach them?

   Also note that in the top ten are only lies that men with overbearing wives tell to benefit their wives feelings.

   So 2 and 7 are the same, 4 5 and 6 are the same, 1 feeds into diffusing how deep our thoughts are that we just don't want to share, 3 feeds in to diffusing female paranoia, etc. etc. etc.

   It's not a lie if it's a deflection. That's called diplomacy.

   Reminds me of the Chris Rock Special:

   Men lie the most,
   women tell the biggest lies.

   ''l'm at Kenny's house.'' That's a man's lie.

   A women's lie is like, ''lt's your baby.''

   Dirit, your comment is 100% fallacious.

   I lie once a day, when I go to sleep.

    That's an interesting study,, now did it take into consideration the lies we less than perfect people tell ourselves as well?

    I also believe age and maturity levels need to be accounted for,, to make an accurate reading on how common,, and maybe needful some lies are for some..

    I think it's not so much that women lie, they just speak a different language where what they say actually has a totally different meaning.

    E.g.
    'I'm bored' -> Find something for us to do
    'I'm just going to have a quiet night reading' -> Take me out somewhere
    'I've heard that movie's really good' -> Let's go see that movie

    and so on.

    lol @ morz. So true. And the funny thing is, if a gys says those things, he means explicitly that, but the women things he means her version.
