THINK about this the next time
you’re counselling a patient.
Research in the UK has found
that men are much more likely to
tell lies than women - and they
also feel less guilty about it.
Scientists surveyed 3000
people, finding that the average
British man tells three lies every
day, or about 1092 a year.
Women came out as significantly
more honest, lying about twice a
day or 728 times a year.
The British Science Museum,
which commissioned the survey,
said that mothers were the people
most likely to be lied to, with
about a quarter of men admitting
they had lied to their mum,
compared to 20% of women.
The most popular male fib was
the classic “I didn’t have that
much to drink”.
AS MANY as one in ten new
fathers suffer from post-natal
depression, according to
researchers in the USA.
The Journal of the American
Medical Association published a
study from the Eastern Virginia
Medical School which analysed
43 studies involving over 28,000
parents from 16 countries.
Depression in dads appears to
most often kick in three to six
months after the birth, with the
research team saying there
should be more awareness of the
condition because it can have
“substantial emotional,
behavioural and developmental
effects on children”.
A CHINESE man with no hands is
suing authorities for the right to
continue driving a lorry.
49-year-old He Yuelin of Lijiang
lost both his hands playing with a
discarded bomb at the age of 9.
He’s been driving a truck since
1984 and has been featured in a
number of TV documentaries -
but has never actually held an
official driver’s licence.
“Over the years I’ve had so
many tickets that I can’t even
count them all,” he said.
“But I have to drive to support
the whole family. Driving is the
only skill I have,” he said.
