A new survey had people rank how bad it is to tell a bunch of different lies. And this isn’t really a surprise, but the four things that are worst to lie about all have to do with sex.

The worst lie is . . . “I’m on birth control.”

The rest of the five worst lies are “I’m not just looking for sex” . . . lying about how many people you’ve had sex with . . . “You’re the first person I’ve ever done this with” . . . and “I always wash my hands after I use the bathroom.”

On the other end of the scale, the most harmless lie is . . . “Your baby is cute.”

The rest of the five least severe lies are “I’m really bad with names” . . . “I love this present” . . . “Your cooking is great” . . . and “I have a headache.”

The survey also found single people tell the most lies in the average day.

Oh, and 3.85% admitted to lying on the survey, so take it all for what it’s worth.

Who says the kids today don’t have vivid imaginations anymore?

A 17-year-old in Elmwood Park, Illinois accidentally SHOT HIMSELF in the groin. But when the cops got to the hospital to talk to him, he told them he was shot by . . . Ninjas!!!

The police investigated and couldn’t find any evidence that ninjas were responsible for the shooting. Although, in ninjas’ defense, if they were good ninjas they wouldn’t have left any sign anyway.

But the police did find evidence that the kid had shot himself, and confronted him with that information. Eventually he gave in and confessed that it wasn’t ninjas after all.

His injuries aren’t life threatening, and so far he hasn’t been arrested. But the kid has gang ties, so some charges ARE expected.

Any guy who goes to a flea market with his girlfriend should automatically get a million brownie points. And the rest of this shouldn’t even have been necessary.

Last Wednesday, a 24-year-old named Jeremiah Cunningham got dragged to a flea market in Oakland Park, Florida by his girlfriend. And he decided to impress her by dressing up as a cop.

Now, it’s not clear how long they’ve been dating. But apparently he was trying to make her think he’s an actual cop. And he went all out, wearing a badge and a bulletproof vest with the word “Sheriff” on it, plus handcuffs and a fully loaded gun on his hip.

But he’d also done his homework. Because when a real cop started talking to him, Jeremiah threw out a bunch of cop terms and actually convinced the cop he was legit.

But later that day, another officer looked at a photo of Jeremiah, realized he wasn’t a real cop, and managed to track down his family.

Jeremiah ended up turning himself in the next day. He’s charged with openly carrying a weapon, using a police badge, and impersonating an officer.

There’s a valuable household resource you’re apparently wasting every single day, and you’ll never guess what it is . . . your dryer lint. Here are five good ways you can reuse it.

1. To start a fire. Dryer lint is highly flammable. So use it in a fireplace or a campfire instead of buying lighter fluid.

2. As a cage liner for hamsters and guinea pigs. They love it because it’s great for building beds and nests. Just don’t use it near a cage heater or electric lamp.

3. Mulch. It’s great for potted plants or outdoor flowerbeds. It breaks down naturally and enriches the soil.

4. Papermaking. If you make your own paper for crafts or stationery, use dryer lint in the slurry. Supposedly it adds interesting textures and colors, and is also great in papier maché.

5. Nesting material for birds. If you have any trees nearby, birds are probably already raiding your dryer vent for lint. Might as well collect it and leave it out for them.

Whatever you do, don’t use lint for stuffing toys or pillows. It can cause a fire if you’re not careful with it.

Here’s some advice when you’re filling out your March Madness bracket this year. Expect chaos. Because this year’s tournament might feature the worst group of teams in college basketball history.

The tournament has been going on for 77 years, and this is the first time that every single team involved has at least four losses. And there are only two that ONLY have four losses: Kansas and Arkansas-Little Rock.

Here are three more random stats to remind you just what a crapshoot it is to pick a good bracket . . .

1. Last year, only 1.6% of the 11.57 million brackets people submitted on ESPN.com picked all four teams in the Final Four.

2. The odds of filling out a perfect bracket are one in 9.2 quintillion. You’re more likely to win the Mega Millions jackpot twice in a row.

3. And Vegas casinos make around $100 million in profits during March Madness.

If you’ve ever tried dipping a chip at a party and had it break off into the bowl, it’s because you’re doing it wrong . . . and we’re about to blow your mind.

According to a structural engineer, the way most of us dip chips is structurally unsound. Here are four steps to avoid breaking chips in the dip . . .

1. Most tortilla chips are triangular, and we hold the chip by one point, and dip the long edge of the triangle, like a shovel. that wrong.

2. We do it so we can scoop up more dip . . . naturally. But it ends up putting too much weight on the point of the chip where you’re holding it, and it snaps.

3. Instead, you should hold the chip along the edge of the triangle, and just dip one point . . . in other words, the exact opposite of what we all usually do. And you can get just as much dip, without the breakage.

4. Finally, use chips that are harder to break. Go through the bowl and find ones that are curled . . . or as the engineers put it, quote, a “bent, undulating chip”. That creates an arch, which is the strongest support structure.

We know people are passionate about their craft beers. But we appreciate the people who are passionate about the cheapest beers.

A few weeks ago, 64-year-old Clarence Sturdivant of Harvey, Louisiana was sitting around with his friend, 66-year-old Walter Merrick. And they started debating which was better . . . Budweiser, or Busch.

Apparently they didn’t know . . . or didn’t care . . . that both of those are made by the same company.

Clarence was all about Budweiser, and Walter was arguing for Busch. And as the argument escalated, Clarence asked for a beer . . . and Walter tossed him a can of Busch.

That was the breaking point . . . and things got physical. Clarence eventually ended the fight by shooting Walter in the arm.

And they were both arrested over the fight.

Daylight Saving Time begins on Sunday . . . 2:00 A.M to be exact. Which means we lose an hour of sleep Saturday night. Here are five tips to help you deal with the transition.

1. Cut out caffeine. Make sure you don’t have any caffeine at least six hours before bed. It’s a good rule of thumb in general, but especially important this weekend.

2. No alcohol either. Even just one drink can disturb your sleep. So skip the alcohol tomorrow night if you can.

3. Eat light. Don’t eat anything for at least two or three hours before you plan to go to bed. Otherwise it can interfere with the quality of your sleep.

4. Make your bed a place you want to sleep in. Meaning, fresh clean sheets . . . and no phones or iPads.

5. Go to bed earlier. To minimize the impact of the time change, make a few gradual adjustments rather than one big one.

Go to bed 15 to 30 minutes earlier than usual TONIGHT, and again tomorrow. You should be fully adjusted by Monday.

Daylight Saving Time starts on Sunday, which means dragging yourself out of bed for work on Monday is going to be terrible.

But at least you’ll be alive to do it. Hopefully.

Scientists just analyzed 10 years of data from hospitals in Finland, and found that there’s an 8% jump in strokes in the week after we switch to Daylight Saving Time.

They say it has to do with the way the time change messes with your body’s internal clock. When it gets thrown off, your body can have some serious negative responses . . . especially if you’re over 65, or your health is already kind of shaky.

On the bright side, you probably won’t have a stroke because of the time change. But if you do, um, spoiler alert?
