Re: Oxymorons! Paradoxs!
That's not really a paradox
A paradox is an endless logical loop. An oxymoron is an illogical pairing (or antilogical?) for example, Macs work

Then is Schrodinger's cat a paradox or an oxymoron or something else entirely? It's not a loop, it's a simultaneous contradiction.

That's an oxymoron then.

Re: Oxymorons! Paradoxs!
My favorite, one I invented, and have dumbfounded little innocent first graders with for decades.
I am stupid.
A paradox. If he is stupid, and he says he's stupid, he's smart. But if he's smart and he says he's stupid, he's stupid. The cycle repeats.
If you want to keep the internet, vote no for SOPA and PIP. If you can't, tell your parents, your friends' parents! Sign petitions, do whatever you can! Say NOPA to SOPA!

Saying you're stupid does not make you smart.
Saying you're stupid when you're smart does not make you stupid.
@Andres: Yet I thought an oxymoron was a statement, but Schrodinger's cat is an event that simply does not loop yet contradicts itself. I'll look up the correct term for it.
Edit: I did some looking up and overall it's referred to as a paradox, I'll stick with giving it that title.

You made an error in that, let me show you:

First of all, you need a period after "Macs work".
Second, you accidentally typed the most careless mistake. "Macs work." is supposed to be, "Windows works."

That is not an oxymoron, that's a true statement. an oxymoron is
"a good windows computer"
or,
"a bad mac"

That joke was already made. (Look directly above your post)

Re: Oxymorons! Paradoxs!
Is this one?:
The next sentence is true.
That last sentence is a lie.

That's an oxymoron, or if you change "last" to "first" it becomes a paradox.
Combo!

Re: Oxymorons! Paradoxs!
I'll explain it.
One sunny day in the middle of the night,- the Earth stopped rotating.
Two dead boys got into a fight- they came back to life.
Back to back, they faced each other,- they were born with their heads backwards.
Pulled out sabers and shot one another- the sabers shot bullets.
A deaf policeman heard the noise,- he had some kind of miracle hearing-aid.
And came and killed those two dead boys.- they came back to life(As mentioned at the beginning) THEN the police officer shot them.
There.

It's opposite day.
Which means it isn't.
Which means it is.
And it just goes on and on and on...

yeah it is. I looked it up, the cat has exactly 50-50 chance of being alive or dead while you can't see inside the box. Therefore, it is both alive and dead.
True, however that's only if a certain theory of quantum mechanics is true, which it isn't, but it's still a good paradox.

I'm more sane and insane than him.
Epic win.
