one of my favorite paradoxes is Buridan's Bridge [1]
"Socrates wants to cross a river and comes to a bridge guarded by Plato.
Plato: Socrates, if in the first proposition which you utter, you speak the truth, I will permit you to cross. But surely, if you speak falsely, I shall throw you into the water.
Socrates: You will throw me into the water."
