Oxymorons! Paradoxs!

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oxymoron
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paradox

Post em' here! Heres an example from wikipedia:

One sunny day in the middle of the night,
Two dead boys got into a fight
Back to back, they faced each other,
Pulled out sabers and shot one another
A deaf policeman heard the noise,
And came and killed those two dead boys.

Now try to explain it!

It is sunny at the middle of the night.  ?
Two boys, who are dead, some how get in a fight.  ?
Epicly, they sought each other as enemies.
The pull out swords and shot one another ?!?!?!
a deaf policeman some how heard the noise (paradox!)
The police man came and killed the already dead boys =P

Re: Oxymorons! Paradoxs!

You missed one- back to back they faced each other. How can you face someone if you are facing the other way?

Re: Oxymorons! Paradoxs!

I got a paradox that is now my catchphrase:

I am insane, but, in knowing that makes me more sane than all of you put together, at the same time making the most insane of anyone in the world.

Contra-diction!

Re: Oxymorons! Paradoxs!

The sun shone bright during this dismal, dark night.

I just noticed that it rhymes.  lol

The man faced the wall, but also faced himself.

HOW DID HE DO IT???

There was a mirror.

And another oxymoron to match my first:
"We're from the government, and here to help you."

How could he face himself otherwise??  (Unless morally)

And the commonly known and debated grandfather effect:
If you go back in time and kill your grandfather before your parent is born, you will not exist, therefor you cannot go back and kill your grandfather, but if you can't kill him you will eventually be born and will kill him, but then you won't exist, etc.

Not really. A volcano can be cold. In fact, that gives me an idea for a story.

lol - lol - lol

I'll give you the explanation to
<Back to Back, they faced each other>

the earth is a sphere, right?  So if they were back to back, they would also be facing each other, around the earth!
