When Canada wanted to repatriate our constitution from the UK, we had to convince the British Parliament that we were not independent. They still retained the power to amend our constitution. Now we Canadians are a feisty bunch and no former imperial power is going to tell us we are independent when we know we're not! (Historic footnote, we managed to achieve full independence in April, 1982 - can't remember the exact date).

I always liked the question for believers that goes, "If god is all powerful, can he create a stone so heavy that even he himself cannot lift it?"

The fact that I have to do everything and never get to do anything, at the same time.

Actually these 3 sub-definitions for paradox appear paradoxal:
[merriam-webster.com]

a : a statement that is seemingly contradictory or opposed to common sense and yet is perhaps true
b : a self-contradictory statement that at first seems true
c : an argument that apparently derives self-contradictory conclusions by valid deduction from acceptable premises

I particularly like the Fermi paradox which also include the Great Filter.

When Ben Casey meets Kildare, that's called a pair of docs - Alan Sherman.

I’m quite surprised that no one has yet mentioned the Epicurean paradox. Always been my favorite. I especially like the way monotheists respond to it....the shrug of the shoulders, the condescending shake of the head, the rolling of the eyes, the way they have no response other than the usual “someday you’ll see the light” bullshit.

The Banach Tarski paradox

Paradox....two doctors conferring on a diagnosis.

Don't know if this qualifies as a paradox but it's my favorite , "why is there something instead of nothing".

If the multiverse theory is true, then there exists a universe where it isn't.

Hitler paradox aka grandfather paradox.

Martins and Bones.

I like the Cretan Barber, because it's simple enough that most bright children can "get" it - watching them think it over for a few moments is always fun. I like the Möbius band fpr the same reason: next time you have children around you, show it to them. Some of them think nothing of it; others look puzzled and are clearly thinking "hang on - that's weird..."

Unfounded causality loops. They fascinate and infuriates me in equal measure when I find them in stories.

No such thing as a paradox

There are only condtradictions which indicate that (at least) one of the original premises is false.

Take Russell's paradox: It falls foul or three mistakes.

1. That a premise can include itself as a premise

2. That it is legitimate to multiply by infinity and

3. That two non-equal things can be regarded as the same thing.

More on this if anyone's interested.

Who knocks the knocker up up

Who shaves the barber?

Never say never

More of a trio. 3 sisters who are all general practitioners have a doctor's office here in rural VA.
They are my favorite tripleDox.

I have always been partial to these two:

When someone tells you something is "incredible" but still expects you to believe them.

If there is an exception to every rule. What about that one? Unless that is the exception?

Holiday and Kildare!

Sorry, not my favorite pardox, but one that I found interesting.. (of course it has to do with infinity issue/s ?) "The infinite hotel paradox"
