  8. The answer is [SYSTEM] she boots Jack and others but isn't technically alive(from what I know).

  13. A man walk up to and says, "everything I tell you is a lie" is he telling the truth or lying?
  14. He is telling the truth because, if he told you he was lying, he would be lying, therefore he would be telling the truth
  15. This is the part where the evil computer explodes right?

  16. Actually he is lying
  17. I haven't seen this one yet so...

    What has 4 legs in the morning, 2 legs in the afternoon, and 3 legs at night?
  18. Then he would be telling the truth.
    I found this on google:
    "He is lying!
    If that statement is true it means that "EVERYTHING he says is a lie". That includes the statement itself. Therefore the statement that he just said can NOT be true which is a contradiction!!
    Therefore the statement is false and so he is lying!!"

    Well, i've never felt more stupid in my life
  19. A man.
    The different times of day represent his life.
    Morning is when he is a baby, when he is crawling.
    Afternoon is middle of life when he is walking.
    Night is an old man when he uses a cane.
