Here's one that's a bit like your first one:

This sentence is false.

And another one:

Murphy's Law: Whatever can go wrong, will go wrong.
Murphy's Paradox: If Murphy's Law can be wrong, it will be wrong.

Therefore, if Murphy's Law can be wrong, it must be wrong, which means that even if it can be wrong, it is not necessarily wrong because we just disproved Murphy's Law, so it must be right, therefore if it can, it will be wrong...
...and so forth.

heres mine.

3/3=.9 repeating   

How you ask? i have to ways of proving it. i'll use the simplar way
1/3=.3 repeating
2/3= .6 repeating
3/3 has to = .9 repeating. but it can't because it has to equal a whole.

yes this isn't very convincing but i can't rite the other one because its a huge math problem and i can't get it to come out right on a computer

On the other hand, .6 repeating rounds to .66667, which, if added to .33333, makes a whole.

How about we try solving the paradox (for every paradox does have a solution). For example:

A group of gang members captured one of the other gang and told him this:
"You have one sentence left, if it is true then we shoot you if it is a lie then we stab you"
And you know what he said back?
"I will die from stabbing"
If they stab him then it is true and they need to shoot him but if they shoot him then he lied and they need to stab him.

The gangsters were lying.

The shortest paradox I know:

I always lie.

I saw these somewhere. They aren't oxymorons, but they are funny!

Tornado rips through cemetery; Hundreds dead
Juvenile Court to Try Shooting Defendant
London Couple Killed; Police Suspect Homicide

Hehe!

I'll edit to add more if I think of them.

Here's a doctor who paradox - If you don't know who Doctor Who is, yankees, just BUY ALL THE DVDS! Anyway:

THE GRANDFATHER PARADOX

you go back in time and kill your grandfather.
your grandfather's dead, so your father can't be alive, so you can't be alive.
you're not alive, so you didn't kill your grandfather, so your grandfather's alive.
your grandfather's alive, so your father's alive, so your alive.
your alive so you did kill your grandfather. so...
your grandfather's dead, so your father can't be alive, so you can't be alive.
etc etc

okay... if you've seen Avatar then you know the comit gives them stregth but... if fire can't be in space and a comit is made of ice rock how do they get power from the comit
they=fire jerks

Simple solution...solar wind buildup.  (I think)

The comet could serve as a massive frigid mirror, reflecting more sunlight onto the world.

tHE end of my game called twisted ninja 2 is a paradox. it goes something like this:

If you make it to the end, the game starts showing you a video, in the video, u get captured and the game is over. So you technically won because u made it to the end but u lost cause u got captured but thats supposed to happen cuz i programed it like that so you win but u got captured, ect.

What's the point, other than demotivating the winner?

I played The Person Below Me forum game and I posted a paradox!
You see, I posted:

"TBPM (the person below me) will say no."

If TBPM says no, he will have had to say yes, but if he says yes, he will have had to say no, which means he's lucky to be able to lie or have more than one word posted.

This was already posted. But its more like this:

The sentence below is false
The sentence above is true

Look down 1 line.
Look down 1+1 line.
Look down 100 line, because you cheated!!!
Look up 3-1 line. (second time looking here: look at the post down from here)
