Paradox

[Defective Confectionary]

I love them.
Does anybody feel the same way?




One of my favorites-

'A boy goes back in time and kills his father.'

Paradoxes are fun! whee  

[Defective Confectionary]

I bought a book, Oxymoronica
Paradoxical wit and wisdom from history's greatest wordsmiths
It really is quite entertaining.

A few quotes from the book:

"I hate intolerant people."
"Anonymity is my claim to fame."
"Let us all be happy, and live within our means, even if we have to borrow the money to do it with."
"Nothing is more irritating than not being invited to a party you wouldn't be seen dead at."
And my favorite,
"If there is anything the nonconformist hates worse than a conformist, it's another nonconformist who doesn't conform to the prevailing standard of nonconformity."
biggrin


I also purchased the second Darwin Awards.
I love the stories of all those people who could have easily avoided their fate. It makes me feel really smart.

I think it may have been better to have posted this topic in the literature section.

Paradoxes? I only know one that hasn't been mentioned.

If you go from point A to point B, you must go halfway there. Then you must go half of the way to that halfway point. Then you must travel half of that half. Then half of the half of the half of the half. And so on and so forth.

So the conclusion is you can't really get from point A to point B. But we do.

Gah, all the halves are blowing my mind.
