logic  

this term, of the three computer courses i have, only one has appealed to me so far, that being the logic course i am taking.

and on friday, the prof left us with something to think about...
there are many systems of logic...and there are rules to go along with each one
one of the generally accepted rules is this:
if something is true, then it is not false
if something is not true, then it is false

that makes sense doesnt it

but just like anything in this world, there are exceptions

for example, decide for yourself whether the following statement is true or false:

"This statement is false."

it defies our rules of logic! it is NEITHER true or false! What do we do!? should we run like chicken little cuz the sky will fall?!!
