Well, folks, Tuffyt got me started on this concept, so here are ten statements about me. One of the ten statements below is a lie; the other nine are true. Can you guess which one is the lie? Good luck!

1. I once walked home five miles on an empty highway because I overslept on the train.
2. I climbed mountains in Asia when I was four years old.
3. In November each year when I put up Christmas lights, I climb trees to over 40 feet high to hang them.
4. I can water-ski slalom well enough to have a 20-foot rooster-tail behind me.
5. I have Méniere's Disease, which can give me vertigo spells that last for a whole week.
6. I've never broken any bones.
7. When I was in Geneva, I parachuted off of Mont Salève.
8. My church used to rent out a tent at Octoberfest where they served beer before the sermon.
9. I received a check for $2.56 from Donald Knuth, the founder of the field of Computer Science.
10. I've crawled through tunnels under a castle in Germany.

(And for the record, there are no trick questions in this list; the lie is a genuine, outright, boldfaced lie that doesn't have even a grain of truth to it, while the other nine are 100% true and accurate.)
