If a) "the following sentence is true" is true, then b) "the above sentence is false" must be true, in which case a) would be false.
However, if a) is false, then b) is false, in which case a) would be true.

Thus we have an infinite cycle with each alternating between true and false in which case both would be either both true and false at the same time, aternating as the great cycle of existince in infinite circles as the Mayans believe. For which reason both are true and both are false and both are beyond true and false.

...or, you could take the easy way out and say that, as neither sentence actually states anything, there is no proposition and thus no truth or falsehood to be discerned.

Dear Terra,

How do you kill a zombie? I mean they ARE the walking dead so how does one go about killing something thats already dead?

If winners never quit, and quitters never win, then what's up with "Quit while you're ahead?"

What happens when the unstoppable force collides with the immovable object?

How would you create a naked singularity?

I'm planning on starting a revolution in a country that is a world power. Should I invest legions of religous fanatics, a few nuclear weapons, or a company of midgets armed with electric cattle-prods?

What would you do if you woke up encased in green Jell-O?

What's more terrifying, a snugglepuss or a cuddlebuns?

Also,

"Is Deadifire really Dead?"

No, but Deadfire is. Otherwise he's a liar and will face the consequences.

I got to admit, I wonder what these consequences are...
