I seem to recall an old Star Trek episode where Captain Kirk got a robot to burn itself up with an infinite loop by using this paradox.

And in keeping with this paradox, the BBC avoided mentioning the real reason why people don't trust the news media, which is that they (the news media) lie all the time.

They're playing the game of "opposites", either that or they're just trolling us now. I learned to always assume that they are lying. Always.

To quote Harvey Mackay, “If you have integrity, nothing else matters. If you don't have integrity, nothing else matters.”

My old dad used to say “ you’ll go to hell for lying, same as stealing.”

I was trying to remember the name of that paradox as I was reading the comic!
