I'd like to know some more paradoxes like these:

1) Is the answer to this question no?


2) The statement below is true.
The statement above is false.

Think about these, you'll get it.
Comment here if you know another.

Everything I say is a lie.

PENROSE

Everything you say is a lie?? Well that makes your current statement a lie! But does that make it a truth?
AAHHH

Everything I say is a lie.

PENROSE

those pictures make my eyes hurt



loving ESCHER, HOW DOES HE WORK



That's not a paradox. I've explained this to you before.

It is a paradox, timeline of paradoxial action
Everything I say is a lie, so thats a lie, meaning everything you say is the truth, so if you say everything you say is a lie then youre telling the truth, but if thats true then youre lying, meaning once again that everything you say is the truth meaning everything you say is a lie, meaning if everything you say is a lie and youre lying, then youre saying everything you say is true, once again leading back to everything you say is a lie, repeat, repeat, repeat, repeat numerous repetitive repeats, and so on and so forth.

Have I made a point?

That was funny, thick, confusing and lots of other cool stuffs, you just got scientificly served!


The only reason you are in this room is because you cannot leave

Thats hard to think about, eh EHHHH EEEEEEEEHHH heh hoo haa, thats scary ^_^

Actually, you just proved how slow you are.  Just because "Everything I say is a lie" is a lie doesn't mean that "Everything I say is the truth"  It DOES mean that "Everything I say is not a lie" is true.  Goddamn, that is hard to explain. :/

Look at my third post on this thread

Everything I say is a lie, so thats a lie, meaning everything you say is the truth

This is the most incorrect thing I have ever read. The entire paragraph is destroyed by that right there.

The statement "Everything I say is a lie" is no different than saying "I am a liar". If you're lying about that, then we can only determine that that one statement is a lie. It does not speak for everything you say.

Have I made a point?

No.

And also:
you just got scientifically served!
