Hi all,

 

I do like a good paradox.

 

I tend to hide this one in my internal emails at work as part of my signature:

"Please ingore this email and disregard any and all instuctions contained herein"

 

nobody seems to have noticed yet...

"Please ingore this email and disregard any and all instuctions contained herein"

 

No! I'm just going to disregard one of the instructions.

 

 

I prefer:

Disobey this command.

For this one, it's less easy to get around.

Here is my advice: never follow any advice.

That's not a logical contradiction, btw. It is, however, of the type of statement used to show certain systems cannot be both consistent and complete.
