Here's a fun one: If Pinocchio said, "My nose is going to grow!" What would happen?

If anyone can give me a logical, not completely stupid answer to this question, I'll give you 50k...

This one too: "This statement is false."

If it is true, then his nose would not grow. But then if his nose did not grow, then he would be lying, which in turn would make his nose grow. The cycle would then repeat. So the question is, "What would happen?" Would his nose grow or not?

So is the statement true or false?

That's the point. If he were to lie. Any time throughout his life, then his nose would grow. And since he did not specify when it would grow, when he did lie, his nose would then grow, making said statement true. Thus making his nose not grow.

Then what is it? o0
