Title: Mind Bogglers!
Post by: LuckyPleo on April 10, 2011, 01:00:59 PM: Someone recently asked me about my old siggie, so if you haven't seen it it said this:
The below statement is False.
The above statement is True.

The answer is that it is classified as a paradox, it has no answer and often cancels itself out. There are many of them out there.
-Moderation in all things, includeing moderation.
-It's opposite day
And I think of rock paper scissors ar being one to because
Rock is stronger than scissors
scissors is stronger than paper
And yet paper beats rock, even though rock is stronger than the scissors that destroy the paper itself?
My Number one favorite is deffinently on our FCAT tests where they print the words "blank page" on an unused page (making it no longer blank)

What happens when an immoveable object is meets an unstoppable force?

Being born is a death sentence.

If you could do everything could you create a door you couldn't open?

If you could dream within a dream... could you dream within that dream... and where would it end?

If someone is on death row... why do they sterilise the needle?

Can time exist when we made it up?

Why do we fight wars to preserve peace?

Could you drown in the fountain of eternal life?

If you were in a car going the speed of light... what would happen if you turned the headlights on?

Sentence could be reversed at the last minute.

The inmate would be able to sue the prision system if they were acquitted and then they received a blood-bourne illness due to the use of a dirty needle??

But is this topic going to include all the classic oxymorons or comedic shtick from George Carlin to Steven Wright? You know, like why do we drive on parkways and park in drivedays? Why do irons have a setting for permanent pressed? etc.
