This isn’t the first time such a thing has been said. Charles “Peanuts” Schulz is quoted as saying “There’s a difference between a bumper sticker and a philosophy.”

(Psst! Here are definitions for the Epimenides

paradox and the Eubulides

paradox. You’ll find more about “strange loops” like these

paradoxes in Douglas Hofstadter’s Godel, Escher, Bach: An Eternal Golden

Braid. Don’t say I never taught you

nuthin’.)
