Re: Paradoxes
I made one up:
I'm lying.
I believe it's the shortest grammatically correct paradox possible.

Re: Paradoxes
I wouldn't really class that as making one up, just re-wording an already existing one
Outposted and I can't be bothered to go back and C+P the quote

Re: Paradoxes
All right, paradox time. This - sentence - is - false! Don't-think-about-it-don't-think-about-it

Re: Paradoxes
This is probably quite a well known one; "if I aim to fail, but I succeed, have I failed or succeeded?"

Re: Paradoxes
Which came first - chicken or chicken egg?
The answer's chicken's egg. Some slightly different bird laid an egg which had a modern day chicken in. But then again, they are always evolving, so who's to say what an actual chicken is?

How, may I ask, is that a paradox?

Exactly. Now let's hope the non-believers don't flame us...

It's a paradox! There is no answer! Look! This place is going to blow up if I don't get back in my body!

You can count 4 true grammatical errors but that makes saying there is 5 an error which makes 5 errors which makes the sentence only have 4 errors and so on
I'm glad to think that the community will always be kind and helpful, the language will always be a fun and easy way to be introduced into programming, the motto will always be: Imagine, Program, Share - Nomolos
