Why do some people seem unfazed that a photobooth is talking to them? And telling them to tuck in their boobs, to move to the other side, and to give it a hug? Well, some people have the proper WTF?! response. Check it out . . .

For some people, lying is practically impossible, while for others, spouting a few untruths is almost too easy. But unless someone is a pathological liar, you'll probably see their deception spelled out in their body language and behavior. The October issue of Self has a few great pointers on how to recognize when you’re being totally duped. I've listed them here and added on my own suggestions too!

• Emotions will appear on someone’s face. So watch their expression closely to see if it matches what they’re saying.
• The eyes say more than you think. In fact if they seem motionless or neutral, it’s likely that the person isn’t truly behind what they’re saying.
• A reaction that comes on strong and disappears just as fast is likely to be false. True emotions linger.
• When you think someone is spinning lies, take note of their hand movement. If they're fibbing, you're likely to see a decrease in gestures.

A nonprofit in East LA is on a mission to incorporate the stray portion of Los Angeles County into the City of East Los Angeles. By becoming a bonafide municipality, the birthplace of Oscar de la Hoya and the lowrider car could have a formal forum for community concerns like crime and commerce, and means to provide services to residents. Right now East LA, possibly the cultural and political focal point of the entire Mexican-American community, is served by one county official that represents two million other LA county residents.

This is East LA's fourth shot at incorporation, but the first since 1974. So what has held it back? Many fear that incorporation equals increased property taxes. Small business owners also worry that they'll be forced to pay for business licenses. Proponents will have some time to convince voters, since it takes about two years to make it out of the bureaucratic process. Would you vote for incorporation?

Think leaving a light on in an empty room is a crime? Well, it might be if this program sponsored by a British electric company takes off: it's called "Climate Cops" and using a slick, hyper-flashed website, it's recruiting kids to patrol their homes and neighborhoods for "energy crimes."

Using games to let kids "join the academy" (the games include chasing SUVs and saving polar bears from melting icebergs) the new little deputies can download doorhangers to signify a room where a violation against the planet are taking place, everything from leaving the water running to using the clothes dryer on a sunny day. The "Climate Cops" are encouraged to spy on the adults around them to create a "Climate Crime Case File" and encourages them to keep guard to make sure violations don't happen again. While it could be a cute idea, when the green blog Treehugger compares you ever so subtly to Hitler, maybe you've gone over the green edge.

What do you think? Hot idea or lights out?

Way to support the arts, reporter dude! That young artiste looks like she's in shock, but I'd run if I were you. She might be ready to strike, especially if you keep laughing.
