A little joke/paradox

Post by Muzozavr » Sat Mar 31, 2007 8:31 am

There are two sentences with opposite meanings. Usually, one is true and one is false. Can both be false?
Answer: Yes it can.
Sentence 1: This phrase has seven words.
Obviously, a lie. Only 5 words are present.
Sentence 2: This phrase does not have seven words.
A lie again! This new phrase has exactly 7 words!

:lol: :lol: :lol:
Rest in peace, Kym. I hardly knew ya.
Rest in peace, Marinus. A bright star, you were ahead of me on my own tracks of thought. I miss you.
