Cell phones adding soundtrack to our lies
![]()
How many times have you grasped for an excuse to get out of something? Maybe you've "little white lied" to your mother-in-law about another call or told your boss that you're getting an emergency root canal and can't make the meeting. A firm in Germany can give your mendacity some veracity thanks to its "sound alibi generator." You can download nine sounds from the generator to your cell phone, including a traffic jam, roadwork, a
circus parade, a dentist's drill and the ring of another phone. Call the boss, tell the fib, play the sound and voila -- your weekend just got longer.
