Slog It Blog It, The Nose Knows!


Molly The Wally & Ratty Rat!

Yes There Really Is Something Called ‘The Pinocchio Effect’!

You may have said to your children that telling a lie makes your nose grow longer but we know that is ridiculous as Pinocchios’ nose was made of wood. However telling a lie it seems makes your nose grow hotter. Scientists claim that a rise in anxiety produced by lying will increase the temperature of the tip of your nose. If you are worried that your fib might be uncovered, they also suggest a way of cooling the nose down. Nope don’t pop it in the freezer for ten minutes! Instead think positive thoughts but this requires a great mental effort to decrease any potential anxiety. The scientists, from the University of Granada, discovered the phenomenon by using thermal imaging cameras to monitor volunteers that they had sinus up for the experiments. They have called it ‘The Pinocchio Effect’! Who nose but we smell a rat here, this is a fragrant violation of common scents. Utter rubbish as my nose is always cold and I am a brilliant liar! Honest! Anyway if it were true why aren't our politicians running around screaming in agony with their noses aflame? It will now be mandatory to have thermal imaging cameras in all government offices and police stations. I won’t be telling any smelly jokes though as they sock!

  1. We just gotta nose Molly, how do you nose so much about stuff? You are amazing.

    Next time we suspect someone of lying, we're gonna run right over and grab their nose.

  4. Hey Molly!
    Wow, what a fun bunch of snooter info! I agree with Lily, that everyone should grab noses to sniff out the truth. BOL Politicians and used car salesmen could start bonfires with theirs.
    BTW: If you need help bashing that critter in your pix, I'm so very there for you! BOL

  6. That's something new for me to learn. Mom always says I have a warm nose but Mika has a cold nose. So who is the liar? I'm always as honest as an angle and Santa Paws knows it well.

  9. I agree with you Molly... PAWliticians (Not those of BLOGVILLE, though) are terrible FIBBERS and they would all be needing their own Fire Dept. to keep THEIR noses from setting the World on Fire...

    HUMMMMMMMMMM... well now.. maybe THIS is the true reason for global climate change. What do you think?

  21. Molly, I agree that can't be true, my nose would be ablaze as I do tend to tell fibs quite a bit. "No I didn't poop over there" "I didn't eat that cookie, it must have been Daddy". My nose is cool as a cucumber.

    Fortunately, for dogs, our noses are usually wet so my human won't know-not that I lie or anything... :)
