We had a thread on books and a few philistines (Lex stand up) said they never read em. And snooty Purple said he (sniff) never reads fiction.
Well Here's a few paradoxes from a book I'm reading which provide good actual reasons for never opening a book!
Well Here's a few paradoxes from a book I'm reading which provide good actual reasons for never opening a book!
- "This sentence is false". If the sentence is true, it is false, and if it's false then its true...?
- The river we step into today is the same as this water. But tomorrow the river will be the same as a different volume of water, so paradoxically it cannot be the same river,yet it is...
- Are there more even & odd numbers than odd numbers alone? Well no, if you match every odd number with an even and odd number there is exactly the same...an infinite series.
- One grain removed from a grain heap makes no difference to the heap and so on. Yet we end up without a heap even tho we only remove one which should make no difference?
- God,being all-powerful can make anything. Can he make a stone he cannot move? If he can, he cannot be all powerful, if he can't he cannot be all powerful.
- A bandit shoots a sheriff who dies a few days later. Meantime, the bandit is killed by the posse. When the sheriff died, the bandit was already dead so when did he kill him? The sheriff was alive after he shot him and the bandit was dead when the sheriff died?
- Telling TD X you intend exposing his philandering is not immoral. Asking TD X for money to go on a cruise is not immoral. Yet, combining the two amounts to blackmail, considered highly immoral-why?
