I just read this from an email.
First tell me if you think it's real?
Do you think it was unkind to pick on the bad guy? lol
Good thing being stupid isn't a crime!
"Police in Radnor , Pa. interrogated a suspect by placing a metal colander on his head and connecting it with wires to a photocopy machine. The message 'He's lying'
was placed in the copier, and police pressed the copy button each time they thought the suspect wasn't telling the truth. Believing the 'lie detector' was working, the suspect confessed."

LMAO!!!! You have got to be kidding. The guy must have been a dingbat to believe that the copy machine was a lie detector. Good Grief!! His lawyers are going to have a field day with that case.

At least they didn't waterboard him. This guy needs to be locked up for stupidity before he hurts himself.

The police in Radnor are denying it and it seems this story has been making the rounds for a long time. For more info, read this http://www.snopes.com/legal/colander.asp

Great one, raydene! Yes, I do believe it is real. That is one of the funniest stupid criminal stories I've heard yet. The sad part is, I have a brother-in-law who I honestly believe would fall for this if he was arrested!
In the first place, I doubt if he would have any idea of the difference between a copier and a lie detector machine. Although he does have lots of relatives who are criminals, so he may have picked up so pointers from them. LOL Seriously, though, he is so ignorant that it isn't even funny. Fortunately, we don't see him anymore, so we don't have to put up with his ignorance.
Keep those great posts coming, and have a wonderful day.
