Each time investigators received answers they didn't like, they pushed the copy button and out popped the message, "He's lying."
Apparently convinced the machine was accurate, the suspect confessed.

There's a story about an MIT student who spent an entire summer going to the Harvard football field every day wearing a black and white striped shirt, walking up and down the field for ten or fifteen minutes throwing birdseed all over the field, blowing a whistle and then walking off the field. At the end of the summer, it came time for the first Harvard home football team, the referee walked onto the field and blew the whistle, and the game had to be delayed for a half hour to wait for the birds to get off of the field. The guy wrote his thesis on this, and graduated.

HONOURS RHAPSODY
By Tim Pickett and Scott Thomson

Is this the real world?
Is this just fantasy?
Caught in a LAN-slide
No ESC to reality.
open(2) your files,
Look after your while(s)
In C;
I'm just a cheap boy
I can't buy Symphony(tm)
Because I've wheezy cough, noisy beep
Little cash, little sleep
Anything but Windows(tm),
Nothing beats full adders to me,
To me.

Mama,
Just killed a RAM
Put DECstatic on its pins,
Now I don't see /usr/bin,
Mama,
I'v had just been run,
But now I've got to throw it all away
Mama, ooooooh,
Didn't mean to make it fry
If I've no stack to overflow tomorrow,
Carry one, carry one,
'Cause there's nothing like full adders.

Too late,
My time(2) has come
Send lightning down my line
Stop my make(1)ing all the time
Goodbye, everybody,
I've got to know,
Gotta leave you all behind and read Knuth.

Mama, ooooooh, (Anything but Windows(tm))
I don't want to *sigh*
I sometimes wish I'd never known Bourne at all.

I see a little silhouetto of a man(1),
Farramouche, Farramouche, will you do the test question?
Thunderbolt and lightning,
Blowing up my modem, me.
Coniwayo, Coniwayo,
Coniwayo, Coniwayo,
Coniwayo Ronald Pose.
Maurice Castro (oh oh oh oh)
I'm just a cheap boy, nobody sells to me
He's just a cheap boy from a cheap company
Spare him his life from this Honours degree!
Wheezy cough, noisy beep,
Will you let me sleep?
Chriswallace! GNU! We will not let you sleep!
(let me sleep!)
Chriswallace! GNU! We will not let you sleep!
(let me sleep!)
Chriswallace! Will not let you sleep (let me sleep!)
Will not let you sleep (let me sleep!)
Will not let you sleep (let me sleep!)
GNU, GNU, GNU, GNU, GNU, GNU GNU!
Oh Mama mia, mama mia,
Mama mia, let me sleep!
Beelzegates has a widget put beside my tree,
my tree,
my tree!

So you think you can clone me and take all my lives?
So you think you can love me and leave me no drives?
Oh, baby,
Can't do this to me baby,
Just gotta c-out, just gotta get write(2) out of here.

Nothing beats full adders,
Anything in C,
Nothing beats full adders,
Nothing beats full adders to me.

Anything but Windows(tm).
