Liar, Liar, Pants on Fire!

Recently I was nominated by Jane over at I’m Downtown to play along with a little game. In which one tells 6 untruths, and 1 truth about themselves and you as my wonderful readers get to guess which is my 1 truth. Here we go:
1.  Recently on a journey to Richmond, I spied the headless ghost of Groover the Flagellator on the oldest bridge in Australia. (You can see his tale here. If you have been following for a while, you’ll know the answer to this one).

2.  When I was a kid a boy followed me home from school and set alight a tree opposite my house because I told him to leave me alone. At this time I was in the backyard playing when my dog started going a little crazy. Of course I said “What’s up Lassie!?” I proceeded to follow my dog to the source of his concern and put out the blaze as the little arsonist fled the scene.
3.  A few years ago my family adopted a cat from a shelter. It was an all black cat and was normal in every respect other than its behaviour and its eyes. The black pupils in cats eyes are supposed to be vertical but instead were horizontal, making our cat look evil. I don’t know if it was treated badly and as such killed another cat in the neighbourhood and attacked the members of my family every chance it got or if it was just born evil. Now I often contemplate whether it is through conditioning or our soul that we become who we are.
4.  Yesterday on one of my daily walks I saw a Kookaburra, no he was not sitting in an old gum tree, and nor was he laughing. He was situated on top of the wires from a utility pole. I starred at him for quite a while (even living in Australia it is rare to see a Kookaburra out in the open like this, particularly in the suburbs) and as I was watching him he was electrocuted, and lay tangled in the wires.
5.  When I was a baby I looked like a pig. My nose was a snout and my ears were too big. My mother would poke at the hole at the back of my head where my brain was exposed. I didn’t know it then but never again would we capture those wonderful days.

6.  7 years ago today, I received a telephone call alerting me to the fact that I had just won The Flinders Medal from the Australian Academy of Science for my work in marine biology and my study on cellular mutation that occurs between certain species of fish and mermaids.
7.   The main reason I have never travelled or left the Australian shores on business is because the Taxation Office of Australia has ordered me not to leave the country on grounds of millions of dollars worth of unpaid taxes. Unfortunately I do not have the funds to escape my suspense.
Now, it’s your turn to play. Comment on this post and tell me what you think is my 1 truth. :D

Happy Playing
