Recently these things have caught my interest, like:
The following statement is true,
The previous statement is false.
Which is harder?
Solving an unsolvable question, or making one?
What is milk when poured over cereal?
A) A sauce
B) A broth
C) A beverage
... Stuff like that.
But I can't seem to find that many of them.
So... Sankaku, can I hear some great ones from your amazing minds?

1) Logical Fallacy
2) Depends on the person... and you'll probably get a logical fallacy out of the first
3) Whatever you want to call it, or, perhaps more importantly, how you consume it.
I love time paradoxes
Let's say you build a time machine, use it and prevent yourself from using it in the past. If you succeed then you can't time travel in the past to stop yourself. That would allow you to time travel to stop yourself, etc etc
Not really a question, but you can make it into one

Unsolvable without experimentation or a better grasp of physics than we have today... or both.

The grandfather paradox only exists based on the theory that timespace is a singular line.
Using current theories of time travel, in your scenario, the moment you stop youself from creating a time machine a second reality is formed.
So the you who travels back in time wasn't stopped by yourself. You prevented a parallel self from creating a time machine.

M theory solves that you change a time line but not yours.
the masochist says "HURT ME!"
the devil says "No."
I love the times paradoxes too!!
Time travel is imposible.
The universe has a fixxed amount of matter.Time traveling would remove some of that matter and add it too a previous point in the universe.
We would have noticed that by now if that was the case.

Having a set amount of matter would not matter (bad pun). The added matter comes from another dimension, something that string theory allows and is believed to be a possible cause of the big bang.
Philosoraptor is key.
"If the world ends in 2012.
in what timezone will it end?"
"Nothing is ever absolute.
but that statement is an absolute"
"If what you see is what you get...
Why can't you judge a book by its cover?"
"Why is it called the common cold,
if it's always a different virus each time?"
"When you die, do you become closer to God...
because you no longer exist?"
"What if there were no...
Hypothetical questions?"
"If mac users care more about the environment than windows users...
why do macs have a trash can and windows a recycling bin?"
"prunes are dehydrated plums
prune juice does not exist"
and finally...
we avoid risks in life.. so we can make it safely to death.
Prove to me that String theory is a valid theory.
Its just half assed theory dressed with mathematics.
Also it doesnt come from another dimensions (Dimensions do not work that way).
Everything I say is a lie. :3

False.

This ones easy. If you go by the question you asked that gives no set time on which his nose is going to grow then the statement would be true and not a lie as he is giving no time constraints on when it will happen. Now say he added "in three seconds". Then it would be a lie as when three seconds are up and his nose did not grow it would then grow after. Now you could argue that adding a time could still make his statement true and false thus making it a paradox in which I reply, no as the only way it could be true is if he said a statement, told a lie that ended exactly when the three second mark hit making his nose grow thus making the original statement true but the lie he told the false thus not allowing the original statement to be both true and false at the same time.
Is the vacuum of space really empty?
Why don't whales get cancer way more often than for instance mice?
Also, Newcomb's paradox:
You play a game against a supernatural being who can and will correctly predict all your actions.
There are two boxes in front of you, A and B. You can choose to either take Box B or both Boxes. Box A contains 1000$. Box B contains either 0$ if the being predicted that you will take both boxes, or 1.000.000$ if he predicted that you will take only B.
What box do you take?

one, they're mostly underwater, and water is supposedly very good at shielding against radiation...
two, and very illogically... mass and size doesn't make you more susceptible to getting cancer.
I'll try to find the place that explained it the best...

I'd take Box B. since the supernatural being correctly predicts that I'll Take Box B, and I do in fact take Box B... I'm now 1m richer.
it's all about trust... either you don't trust that what is written is right, and take both boxes, which will net you the small sum of 1k.. or trust, and gain 1 million.
unless I missed a word here or there.
