interest in paradoxes

[Gnisy]

Even the word itself is interesting. Anyone know of any mind-boggling paradoxes to share?

a man walks up to you and tells you "everything I say to you is a lie", is he telling the truth or lying?

The arrogant self-assumption that the Eng-er-lish (sic) rugby team are the best in the world?

[THECORBYLOON]

Imagine Puala Radcliffe races against a speedy tortoise in a marathon. She runs at 10 mph and the tortoise does one mph. If the tortoise is given a head start of 10 miles, it will take Paula an hour to reach the tortoise�s starting point but in that same hour the tortoise has moved a mile. It takes Paula six minutes to travel that mile but during that time the tortoise has travelled 1/100th of a mile. With every distance travelled by Paula, the tortoise has moved ahead of her by a tenth and so she will never catch the tortoise and yet we all know she will, don�t we?

If she trips over the tortoise prior to the finish line all bets are off.
