pinnochio's nose only grows when he tells a lie. So if he says 'my nose will grow now' and it does, he was telling the truth and his nose shouldn't have grown. If it doesn't grow, he was telling a lie and it should've grown.

This is a paradox.

A better example is you have a time machine, and you go back in time and kill your grandfather before he has your father. Then you couldn't have been born, but you were so youd screw thngs up pretty bad.
