A puzzling paradoxical point to ponder:

What would happen to you if you just ask Just Asking if you just asked what someone else had just asked or if just asking Just Asking just asks the same questions that just asks for different answers in the same way than just having had asked an unjust version of a just inquiry into a previously considered query that had merely questioned the validity of Just Asking's authority to ask just that question without straying from the subject matter at hand?

  • Being a mathematical dunce, I had to look up the Potatoe Paradox on Wiki.
    I even did my best to patiently follow and puzzle out the equations.
    It led me back to 16,
    to the dizzying feeling of discovering
    that numbers sometimes have nothing to do with reality, even though they often do.
    I wondered,
    what if it were possible to make some fake potatoes of 99% water and 1% potatoe starch?
    Weigh it, put it "outside" overnight in conditions that will cause 1% of weight to evaporate,
    then weight it again and measure the difference in weights.
    Surely the result would not be paradoxical.
    Which would mean that logically sound maths can lie.
    If maths can lie, what does that imply?
