Logic Can Be Fun - Or Can It?	Bradd	10/31/05
Read the following sentence. "This statement is a lie". Is the sentence a lie or not a lie? If it's a lie, then the sentence is not a lie. If it's not a lie, then the sentence is a lie. True or false, in place of lie, works too.
Clarification/Follow-up by Bradd on 10/31/05 6:28 pm: slight correction: for the quibblers - change "sentence" to "statement" - avoiding problems. Actually, either way is ok, but.........you know. Quibblers and all. Clarification/Follow-up by Choux on 11/05/05 2:17 pm: Bradd:: Some of us were never **nerds**. Therein your misjudgement.

This "logic puzzle" is a sentence.... "This statement is a lie." It is a sentence that only makes sense if there is another sentence or sentences to go with it. "My dog has fleas. This statement is a lie." The lie refers to the statement, so there must be a separate statement that is the lie.
