Very cool, if true

One of the following statements is untrue. Can you tell which one?

[Poll #986043]

From:

1) It did. I realised that it was a fantastic example of an industry that's incredibly reflexive. Ordinary people want fashion for occasional dressing up, and then to those people inside the industry it becomes everything, so that they're effectively dressing up every day - taking it to extremes.
2) Nope. I've kissed a few men, but that's as far as it's gone. Sadly I don't seem to be at all bi.
3) Yup. I've also fallen asleep on a big roll of barbed wire in the fake village in the middle of Salisbury plain that the army uses for assault practice. It was surprisingly comfortable.
4) Tis true. I also used to read The Daily Mail. I was young and foolish at the time, and I feel embarassed admitting it. I've also been through socialist and libertarian phases, before realising that ideals and people just don't mix. Nowadays I'm a pragmatist.
5) I do indeed. It was a terribly harrowing day, made a little easier at the end when I told an appalling Jewish joke on the way out. Thankfully nobody was there to hear it except my father and my uncle. I also have a t-shirt that reads "My parents went to Auschwitz and all I got was this lousy t-shirt." I love it to bits, but it rarely gets worn, for obvious reasons.

From:

Why on earth did you (a) answer your own poll (b) comment onit 22 secs after posting it (it says here?)
And where have you gone now huh?

From:

And while we're being meta why is your comment posted 59 mins before your post?

From:

On my journal it shows up as 9:49 and 9:55. How odd.

I know that they're stored slightly differently, and converted into local time for the person viewing. Maybe it thinks we're in different time zones.,.,.

From:

well I'm in a different country:-)

From:

I answered it so that people could see the right answer.

I commented to provide extra information on which one it was, and some amusing connected factoids.

From:

er don't most people look at the answers before they answer like wot I do?

From:

See new poll

From:

Uh - no? What would be the fun in that?

I got it right, but then, I knew two of them for definite, one almost certain and the young conservative one is obvious when you think about it. That left the right answer.

From:

I make absolutely no claims to knowing you well :-)

From:

Absolutely.

But part of the reason for the post was a discussion the other day of the way people come across differently online and in person. And people thought I came across mostly the same. So I was wondering how well people that didn't know me in real life would be able to tell what I was least likely to have done. It's all a bit fuzzy and spurious, but the answers are still interesting.

From:

Oh, and I love both that icon and the movie it's from.

From:

In that case, could I ask you a favour ... which movie is it from? I just stole it (with permission :-) here on LJ.

From:

The Emperor's New Groove. Probably the funniest Disney movie. The cat is played by Eartha Kitt (although she's not a cat for most of the movie).

Well worth watching, if you have an inner 12-year-old.

From:

My inner 12 year old is already digging Eartha :-)

I answered 4 even though P had just given away that that wasn't the answer, out of sheer incredulity. Good God man! Next you'll be telling us that Richard Littlejohn was one of your favourite authors when you were wee!

Re 2, I'm sure you just need to meet the right man. ;)

I think F's trying to say he's met the right one... ;)

From:

Are you trying to set me up with your husband?

From:

Oh, hush. That's not what I was saying at ALL.
