Question: If Pinnochio said "My nose is about to grow", what would happen?
Asked by Mick (46.66.84.x) on December 3 2011, 12:21pm

I.e. if he believed something to be true, and said it, and it turned out to be false, would his nose grow? If so, he would have an extremely valuable tool for testing the truth of things. Comment...
