If Pinocchio lies, then his nose will grow. Pinocchio lies. Therefore, his nose will grow. If Pinocchio tells the truth, then his nose will not grow. Pinocchio tells the truth. Therefore, his nose will not grow. [highlight](User was banned for this post ("crap thread, didn't read the sticky" - postal))[/highlight]
What would happen if pinochio told the truth, but the truth was wrong? Is he the filter through which "truth" is decided, or is there a magic objective truth used to determine his nose growth? Say you asked him "Does the sun orbit the earth" and as far as Pinochio knows, it does, so he says yes. yours is a paradox that would probably destroy him

His nose isn't omniscient and isn't able to read into the future so it wouldn't react at all.
