This isn't paradoxical when most people say it. It's simply false, assuming the speaker has said at least one true thing in his life. Evercat 18:40 21 Jun 2003 (UTC)
And I removed:
Literary versions A version of this paradox appears in the Don Quixote (II, Chapter LI (http://www.panzaconsulting.com/quixote/dq_108)) and another in the letter of Paul to Titus[?]; 1, 12 (http://www.blueletterbible.org/tmp_dir/popup/1054442648-7471#11):
The first (which I was unfamiliar with) seems to be a paradox of some sort, but on skimming the text, I don't think it's strictly the liar paradox.
The second is the Epimenides paradox, and both this article and that one make a big deal (correctly, I think) in asserting the difference between it and the liar paradox. Evercat 19:11 21 Jun 2003 (UTC)
