Sure... I can save some Mango Kush for u honey. :queen:
But do you have any thoughts about Pinocchio darling?
Let us use our good friend sir Wikipedia...

This is apparently known as the Pinocchio Paradox

Pinocchio paradox - Wikipedia

"The Pinocchio paradox has nothing to do with Pinocchio being a known liar. If Pinocchio were to say "I am getting sick," this could be either true or false, but Pinocchio's sentence "My nose grows now" can be neither true nor false; hence this and only this sentence creates the Pinocchio (liar) paradox."

:jbhmm:

So basically my answer is

:hula:

I didn't read all the comments, but I'm gonna give it a shot...

If pinnochio said "my nose will grow right now if I lie" that would be the truth. Flat out saying that his nose will grow right now is technically a lie because he did not state why it grows. Therefore, his nose will grow if he says the statement in the OP.

But if it grows it would not be a lie anymore... :jbhmm:

Technically, he still told a lie regardless of whether his nose grows. He did not let the other party know that it only grows when he lies. For example, if my mom asked me did I get the apples from the store and I say yes, knowing I have not been to the store yet. However, I make sure I buy the apples before she gets home. I lied earlier, but she still got her apples.

It would still be a lie... So it should grow... But after it grows it becomes true!
