Fun Thing

(Don't cheat by looking this up on the web! No cheating!)

Consider this:

This sentence is false.

Is that:

A. True?

B. False?

The sentence isn't about anything, therefore there is nothing on which to judge truth or falsity.

The sentence is false, so the answer is A. It's true that it's false.

But, the sentence says that it's false from the get-go. So, the answer is also B.
It cancels itself out.

Okay, whatever.
