The Nature of Truth
Steve Elgin and Kristian Falcon knew they would be side-by-side in the high school yearbook, so they decided to bend your brain a little with their quotes. If the first is true, how can the second be a lie? That’s hard enough to reconcile, but look -they are quoting each other! My brain is starting to melt. Is this completely nonsensical, or is there some real-world solution? -via mental_floss
