The Twin Paradox

cos stuff like that interests me

[Vykromond]

that's not a real paradox

neither is xeno's, to be quite honest (i just noticed that Saturn V mentioned it a lot earlier in this thread. fit, consider yourself DOUBLEH-OWNT).

"this statement is false" is pretty clever though

What's the paradox where it usually is in the form of a riddle, whereas two people from two different towns, one being 'liar-land' and the other one being 'truth-land'. A by-passer meets these two people and asks them a question to find the right way to 'truth-land'.

You know what I'm talking about.

that's not a paradox either, that's a mildly diverting puzzle

you're not a real paradox

how true it is

[Stabwound]

I dunno if this has a name or whatever, but I read a short story one time about a guy that goes back in time and accidently causes his mother to die. That means that he was never born. But if he was never born, then he never would go back in time to cause his mother to die, which would mean he would be born and therefore go back in time.

I like that one.

An Eyeful A Day Keeps The Doctor Away
Staring at women's breasts is good for men's health and makes them live longer, a new survey reveals. Researchers have discovered that a 10-minute ogle at women's breasts is as healthy as half-an-hour in the gym. A five-year study of 200 men found that those who enjoyed a longing look at busty beauties had lower blood pressure, less heart disease, and slower pulse rates compared to those who did not get their daily eyeful.

I know what you're talking about.

A man walks on a path trying to get to Truth-land, and he sees a fork in the road. One way leads to (as kim says) Truth-land, and the other Liar-land. The man sees a person on the right and left path. One is from Truth-land, and the other is from Liar-land. He knows that the person from Truth-land can only speak the truth and the person from Liar-land can only tell lies. So he tells them to take him to his home town. That way, the liar would have to lie about his home town and take him to truth-land, and the truthful guy would take him to his home town.

I can't really tell stories right

Where did you find this? I tried to find the new source it came from, but I couldn't. It's hilarious if someone seriously published it, though.
