Braggabragabrag. Anyway, I thought you were like 9-11. Or maybe I'm lying. Geddit, I'm lying? Bad paradox and one of the most overused but I thought I'd mention it.

If it was false, it would then be true. If it was true, then we imply the statement and it is false, creating a non-logical question.

Not to be mean, but what you just said seems pretty self-absorbed. What? All of a sudden you think your more intellectual than everyone else? I actually knew you were a child because A) I've met children who are just as smart as you and B) I have been told something similar. I'm 13 and I find your statement quite offensive and, sorry to say, narcissistic. There's nothing wrong with being proud of yourself and telling others about it, but you pretty much just crossed the line. I suggest keeping things like that within the company of family and relatives. Otherwise, it might upset some people.

im 10 started scratch when i was 6. account when i was 8. 3 yrs to go till i apply. hard to type while eating a cornetto...

But then that makes movement a paradox :0

GLaDOS: Hey, moron.
Wheatley: Oh, hello!
GLaDOS: All right, paradox time. This sentence is false! Don't-think-about-it-don't-think-about-it...
Wheatley: Uh... true. I'll go "true". Huh, that was easy. I'll be honest, I might have heard that one before, though; sort of cheating.
GLaDOS: It's a paradox! There is no answer!

Ok i haven't gotten that far, but I couldn't resist when i saw this on wikiquote 
Also thought of the Pinohico thing (because i'm a disney nerd    )


this as well: I guess

I always lie.

A barber shaves all the men in the village who do not shave themselves. Does he shave himself?

That is not a paradox, because either way it's true.

acid itself is a paradox.  If it existed, it would become a random bubble of acid in space in a matter of hours because it would eat to the core of whatever planet it's on.  Then, a few more hours later, there would be NO acid, it would have eaten itself.

Actually, the projectile would eventually reach its target, but would take a long time. With halving the distance, no matter how small the distance, it still has to move.

Example:

Imagine that when the projectile is launched, it is 20 miles from the target. The distance it travels each time is:

10
5
2.5
1.25
0.625
0.3125
0.15625
0.078125
0.0390625
0.01953125
...and so on

Those tiny numbers will add up eventually, though it will take billions if not trillions or quadrillions of distances.

He shaves himself, because he doesn't shave himself, getting rid of the option to shave himself again

No object is immovable, not even the universe...

It is opposite day today.

I know that I know nothing at all.

If a crocodile steals a child and promises its return if the father can correctly guess what the crocodile will do, how should the crocodile respond in the case that the father guesses that the child will not be returned?

Now chew me out for those un's

I don't know if that is a real paradox, though. Did you find the error? 

a-b=0, so you can't change between the statements in red.

Yay, you're right! 

Another paradox.

The blue sentence is false.
The green sentence is false.
The red sentence is true.

Ooh.

What about...
This sentence is false. The first statement is true. The second statement is false. The second statement is true, and the third statement is true too.

Multitipe paradoxes.

Fail.

Anyways, you are in a room with no windows and nothing in it. Every day, people stare at you.
Is that a paradox, or a false statement?

Er..... there isn't a roof.
