The Topic is Off-Topic. Paradox?

riverhippo · Dec 23, 2010 3:26 PM

I think this is impossible.

We must attempt to be off-topic in this thread. And the topic is: Off-topic.

Go.

I totally agree, becuase John Marston would totally wear Spyro on his head.

(lol, is that off topic enough for you?)

36IStillLikeSpyro36 · Dec 23, 2010 7:26 PM

i agree that it is a paradox.

[see? to be off-topic in a thread talking about off-topic, is to be on-topic tongue ]

Linguistic(sp) paradox:

Answer this question truthfully: will the next word you say be 'no'?

Time paradox (love this):

Fifty-year-old man goes back in time and meets his fifteen-year-old self. As he sees his younger self he slips, falls straight into them and knocks his younger self to the floor, therefore causing him to hit his head on the hard floor. The younger self gains brain damage and eventually dies. What happens next? If the younger self dies then he is unable to grow into the older self who caused his younger self to die, therefore when he dies there is no reason for him dying, because he will never grow older and go back in time and kill himself. He cannot exist yet he cannot not exist. Paradox.

Visual paradox:

Impossible staircase.

I LOVE PARADOXES.

SPYRO
WAS A DRAGON
WHO LEGENDS PORTRAY AS A HERO
WHO FOUGHT OFF HUNDREDS OF ENEMIES
AND SAVED THE DRAGON KINGDOM
WHEN THE TRUTH IS
SPYRO
WAS A DRAGON
WHO READ BOOKS ALL DAY
ABOUT THE HISTORY OF OPERA

shade105 · Dec 24, 2010 5:59 PM

Yeah... Spyro better check that. He could have a nasty rash...

Maybe. Possibly. Perhaps. Nope. Nah.

This 'paradox' can be solved with any of the above and most likely a few dozen more ways. Therefore, it isn't a paradox.

To the random effects of quantum mechanics, the universe would literally repeat itself until the very small particles of the quantum universe make it unable to happen. This could be as small as changing a single pattern in the brain that keeps him on balance, to something that happens in the future that causes him not to go back in time (not a paradox because it wasn't his cause).

Therefore, the paradox happens finitely instead of infinitely, which causes it not to be a paradox at all!

The fact that that image was able to be created nullifies the definition of it being a paradox itself.

Yeah right... and you really wanted Cynder to go play outside... Jerk.

Aha, see. You have to answer it truthfully. Maybe, possibly and perhaps would be lies, but I take your point that nope or nah would work.

Maybe, possibly, and perhaps would be truthful. Is it possible that I may say no? Yes, but is it possibly I won't say no? Yes.
