Give me some good paradoxes

[Andrew Karpinski]

If God is omnipotent and omniscent can he do something he knows he won't do?

Of course. How is this even a paradox?

I *can* shoot my dog. I know that I won't.

[Andrew Karpinski]

Borodog, think a little harder. It's not the same thing because despite the opinion of your politics forum lackeys you're not omniscient :P

It is the same thing despite your argument of the contrary. Nice ad hominem.

However, can God make a burrito so large and delicious that even he cannot eat it?

[Andrew Karpinski]

TC : No, it's not. Borodog does not KNOW he will not shoot his dog in the same way that God can know he will not do something.

Some people seem to think that violence can be both good and bad at the same time. They want to diminish violence in society by giving all the guns to one centralized, monopolistic group, whom have no responsibility towards anyone.

So in order to stop gangs on the street, they create one big one; which should solve all social problems.

If you want to turn this to the poltiics forum, I have one for you as well.

Anarcho-Capitalism.

You meant anarcho-syndicalism, right?

The most common example of the paradox in America involves batting averages in baseball. It is possible — and in rare occasions it has actually happened — for one player to hit for a higher batting average than another player during the first half of the year, and to do so again during the second half, but to have a lower batting average for the entire year, as shown in this example:

First Half Second Half Total season
Player A 4/10 (.400) 25/100 (.250) 29/110 (.264)
Player B 35/100 (.350) 2/10 (.200) 37/110 (.336)

How is that a paradox? Player A played less ball in the first half, hit well, but hit a lower percentage during the second half when he played a lot, so what?

Maybe I'm improperly relating "paradox" with "logically unexplainable."

Pocket-pair-paradox.

In Deepstack No-Limit Holdem there are quite a few players who are not capable of folding aces.
Against such players even a low pocketpair becomes a winner.
So every time in such a situation A,A go against 2,2... on average 2,2 wil do better than A,A.
