It was at lunch, and she suddenly goes, "I have a conundrum for you. Listen. Now." And my brain exploded when I heard the question. You ready for it?
What if Pinocchio said "My nose is going to grow right now."?
I don't know if your mind was just kerfuffled, but mine was. I'd love to hear your responses to this.

Let's see... it grows when he lies, so if he's telling the truth it won't grow, but if it doesn't grow then he is lying which would cause it to grow. His nose grows only when he lies.... so if he's lying about his nose growing then it'll grow which meant he told the truth, which means his nose won't grow.
Hmmm.... I'm gonna totally go out on a branch here. The nose would grow, after a long pause. You see the nose only grows due to lying, so when he first says it the nose will not grow instantly because it will register as truth. But after a while of no action it will become a lie and register growth. Yeah, I'm kinda going out on a limb here, but am I wrong? Wow, this conundrum is fun.

But doesn't it shrink when he tells the truth?
So he would say that, then it would start to grow, but by growing, it would have to shrink....
I think Pinocchio's head would be the one to explode. xd

Holy ********, if he was brain-washed to believe it, it would register as truth... I think...
Wow, I really don't have a good response for that...
It wouldn't if he said a lie right after it.

I saw that on a sign in science class one day. I figured that his nose would repeatedly grow and shrink until he says something else.

FYI, if I'm not mistaken, that may be video footage of Bjork's stalker/would-be-killer. If I remember correctly, that guy is actually blowing his brains out in that shot (yes, when people really fire a gun in their brains blood does not cover the walls despite works of fiction). Therefore, that's a pretty cut and dry violation of the TOS. You may not want to post that anymore. sweatdrop
