Happt birthday I guess. Here's your present, a paradox.
A Cretan sails to Greece and says to some Greek men who are standing upon the shore: "All Cretans are liars." Did he speak the truth, or did he lie? |

| Well that's simple: if the guy sailed all the way from Crete to Greece just to tell some random people a useless line, then he's clearly a runaway lunatic. |

So, I'm giving another paradox.
There's a village miles away from here. The village has one Barbour. Everybody who doesn't cut their own hair gets their hair cut by him. So who cuts his hair. If he cuts his own, he can't cut his because he cuts his own hair and the Barbour only cuts the people's hair if they don't cut their own. So if he doesn't cut his hair, he has to cut it because he cuts everybody's hair who doesn't cut their own. So if he does cut his hair, he still cn't cut it.
He has short cut hair, so who cuts it?

| Nobody does. The barbour is actually bald, and he's only just wearing a wig. |

The problem with the barber is, coincidentally enough, exactly the same problem regarding the primality of the number 1. It's not a paradox, though, it's largely just to do with definitions.

Here's a question for everyone: Can an omnipotent being create a rock so heavy that even he can't lift it?

| It can still lift it. It's omnipotent. Capable of doing anything. |

Scholars have debated that one for centuries. Give us something like Einstein's Riddle or something that's easier, man.

Heh. The answer isn't quite as simple. IF the omnipotent being cannot create a heavy rock, he is not omnipotent at all because he cannot create said rock. IF the omnipotent being creates a heavy rock, he isn't omnipotent because he can't lift that rock. See what I did there?

I'm willing to chalk that up to syntax and semantics. I have a solution, and I'll give numbered steps on how to do it below, but even then you could say that it's not a real solution. Also, just for the sake of simplicity, I'm calling our hypothetical omnipotent being "God", just for simplicity.
Step 1: God creates a rock that he can't lift.
Step 2: God tries and can't lift said rock.
Step 3: God increases his own physical strength
Step 4: God can now lift the rock

Here's a good paradox:
The following sentence is false.
The previous sentence is true. |
