I was reading Xarn's blog and I was considering this paradox: Suppose you are to fight Xarn. No weapons, just a one-on-one fight on the ring. Do you think you would win?
Well, I lift weights. But Xarn reads books. Surely he has read some books about fighting! I think I would lose against this much knowledge, unless I manage to land a punch.

I was thinking a leg sweep to take him down, then while he's down move in for a triangle choke. Game over, Zarn wakes up with one motherfucker of a headache.

Abusing the difference between "your" and "you're" is funny, as the two words are commonly confused due to their similarity. There is no word with which "paradox" could conceivably have been confused in >>1.

There are, however, umpteen other threads that begin along the same lines as this one; i.e. variations on the phrase "Consider this paradox:" followed by phrases describing something that clearly isn't a paradox.
This is still misuse of language; note also the plebian overuse (and misuse) of the word 'paradox' in order to try and make oneself sound intelligent (or just for the enjoyment of using the word).
