This is definitely my favourite paradox so far.  It's an expression:

"The smallest positive integer not definable in under eleven words."

Ooh, I love that one.  One of my professors randomly spent 10 minutes on it in class :D


As for today, people kept asking me for directions to stuff in theatre class, and people came to sit next to me, say hi, and so on.  Plus, someone offered a car ride from time to time so that I wouldn't have to bike 4 miles uphill in the hot sun, and wants to go to the plays we need to see together :3

Suddenly, I'm... popular?  Who would have imagined?  Or maybe this is just how most people conduct their lives, but I've never experienced it before.  It's so nice to have people saying kind things about me and saying hello.

...huh? I don't get it. How is that a paradox?

How does that relate to the paradox? Meh, I was never any good at this.

If it can be defined by "The smallest positive integer not definable in under eleven words"... then it can be defined in under eleven words.

John King on CNN just ripped President Obama, MSNBC, and FOX news in one fell swoop.

I love CNN!

It's known as the Oppai-Kaiju effect. The islands of Japan generate a sort anti-gravity field, which allows breasts to behave as if in microgravity. It's also what allows Godzilla and friends to become 50 stories tall, and lets ninjas run up the side of a skyscraper.

Walked down to the local comic store with my dad and got "The Walking Dead" book 2 finally. On the way back he told me that he saw a large spider eat a small spider this morning. I found this interesting but also somewhat disturbing.

I'd like to remind everyone that half of the time I don't even know what I'm talking about. The other half of the time I only sort of know what I'm talking about.

I just had a thought.

The Pokedex entry for Tropeus says that it grows fruit, and indeed you can see bananas growing on its neck when you look at it's sprite. But shouldn't only female Tropeuses grow fruit?

I dunno, you guys have survived Thomas the tank engine, golems, zombies, nuclear explosions, laser whales, and being on the same team as ragnarock.  I don't think something as tame as a world ending rain of lava will even slow you guys down.

No. As everyone knows, trees don't grow fruit to reproduce, but rather because they are hungry and need something to eat.
