          In the |980s, lots of people made "self referencing sentences". One of the classical one was "This sentence contains sofa six words". The sofa had to be in there to make the statement true.

              I found two errors with my foreign English. The obvious "threeee" and "erors". Checked each word using the dictionary two hours ago. Two is al I get. And now, finally, I can see the third error; damn, didn't expect that.

                        Better don't ask me. Everything I write here is a lie.

                        I have lived with several Zen masters - all of them were cats. His last invention was an evil Lasagna. It didn't kill anyone, and it actually tasted pretty good.

                              No, but I used to go there every year for quite a while. Not for a vacation, but for work. And when whe were done, the boss had to pay for about 40 men getting drunk and usually granted one or two days off for all.

                                This is a Schrödinger's statement: it's at the same time true and false! (Explanation: if you consider the correctness of the statement to be included in the count of the errors, you first detect a third error - but by doing so the statement becomes true - which in turn makes the statement false again, etc. :wtf: )

                                GOTOs are a bit like wire coat hangers: they tend to breed in the darkness, such that where there once were few, eventually there are many, and the program's architecture collapses beneath them. (Fran Poretto)

                                        Interesting recursion - making the sentence itself one of the errors which then unmakes it which then makes it which then unmakes it which then makes it which then unmakes it which then makes it which then unmakes it which then makes it which then unmakes it which then makes it which then unmakes it which then makes it which then unmakes it which then makes it oooof - barely made it out of that one.

                                          Reminds me of arguments I've had with my SO. :doh: :-D

                                          "When you are dead, you won't even know that you are dead. It's a pain only felt by others; same thing when you are stupid." Ignorant - An individual without knowledge, but is willing to learn. Stupid - An individual without knowledge and is incapable of learning. Idiot - An individual without knowledge and allows social media to do the thinking for them.
