Evidently there is nothing Google can't do. :)


Seriously though, this is one of the best ideas I've ever heard.

Presumably the Chinese version was very easy to do

Code: [Select]

public String checkTruth(Statement speak){
   if(speak.isFalse()) {
       speak.setToTrue();
   }
   summonSecretPolice();
   bookDetentionCell();
   buyNewBullet();
   return "Questioning the leader is counterrevolutionary!";
}

Code: [Select]

False

Nah, US is

Code: [Select]

public String checkUSTruth(Statement speak){
   if(speak.isFalse()) { //always invoked
       speak.setToTrue();
   }
   summonHomelandSecurity();
   bookguantanamoDetentionCell();
   buyNewGasChamber();
   return "Questioning the leader is islamofacism!";
}

public String checkUKTruth(Statement st)  {
return checkUSTruth(st) + " so shut up prole, or John Reid will come and eat your babies";
}
