Epimenides paradox
Let's have a green tea cake before we go fry some braincells.Ok this is something I picked up while watching "Full Metal Panic: The Second Raid."
The Cretans are always liars. (Titus 1:12)
This was from Epimenides, a sixth century BC philosopher who himself is a Cretan. So was his statement true of false? That's Epimenides paradox.
How about this:
The next sentence is false.
The preceding sentence is true.
There is this Gödel's incompleteness theorem which says from an arithmetic approach a provable statement may not be a true statement..
Don't think too hard please. I don't want to slaughter your braincells.

I purposely looked up on the paradox theories cos it was mentioned in the anime I'm watching, and this paradox thingy has been ringing in my head for sometime already, so I just did a little search on it~
Don't drink too much la, drunken master.
