What are some of your favorite paradoxes?
When Pinnochio says "This statement will make my nose grow," what happens?
You can leave an optional "tip" with Mahalo's virtual currency, Mahalo Dollars. If you are asking a difficult question that might require some research, or if you'd like a wide variety of feedback, a higher tip often leads to more answers to your question.

"A male barber shaves all and only those men who do not shave themselves. Does he shave himself?"
This one's a bit more complicated and took me a minute to understand:
"A law student agrees to pay his teacher after winning his first case. The teacher then sues the student (who has not yet won a case) for payment."

How about "Entry level position, 2 years experience required."
Some say "Fighting for Peace" is like "Having Sex for Virginity" (although more direct wording is used).
How about the thief who breaks into your house through a skylight and falls on the kitchen knives. Sues you and wins. (True story.) It is important that you make someone else's experience at burgling you a safe one.
Read a California State Prison system rule book for inmates. Try to obey all the rules. You can't. They're written so if you obey one rule they can get you for another. For example, "Inmates are allowed to own a handkerchief that is gray in color and not adorned with patterns or symbols deemed inappropriate." Compare to, "Inmates are not allowed to posses personal items that are not provided by the State." So you can get a square piece of cloth in the mail that is gray in color, but after they allow you to get it they can take it away at any time and write you up for breaking the rules. Not all persons who are imprisoned are guilty either, so deserving bad treatment isn't a valid argument. The rules should at least be consistent.
Not the traditional hypothetical situation paradoxes but definitely real world examples.

M$Time travel paradoxes are more interesting to me. If you were able to go back in time and try and kill your grandfather and therefore prevent your own birth... would you be able to? Time travel in the past has not been scientifically proven to be able to work. Mathematically and the laws of physics may allow it. Currently it's been proven that time travel into the future is in fact possible and happens every day. Astronauts on the space station time travel fractions of a second ahead of all of us =)
