It's a paradox. The first statement is both true and false. Everything else is true. None of the things in the video are true. That is the lie. But then he is telling the truth because that statement he just said was true.
Just thought I should say I was on the ground then I jumped in the air then I fell... Landed normally on my feet did not stumble did not fall on the ground I was not on the floor at any point and did not sit down but I did have to go to the emergency room right after wait for 7 hours to tell me I broke my ankle so just so you know you can break bones by falling 3 inches and landing normally
Okay, so I've been going back and watching a BUNCH of old videos and seriously there is SO of TFiOS in this videos, it's INSANITY.. But, I love it.. Hehehe. :)
@AKChronicles It is! I stumbled upon the video "You're Gonna Die", and he literally says WORD FOR WORD, the same stuff that Hazel says about oblivion.. It's craaaazzzzzzy. I mean, I know that of course he is the one who wrote it, but he makes his characters seem so real, that it almost feels like he's the one copying Hazel.. Hahahhaa. :p
"im on a roller coaster that only goes up" me:aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa *head expoldes*
As long as we continue to build things that reach higher than an inch off of the floor, unintentional falls will continue to be the greatest non fatal problem for every generation.
@thundersquirrel100 It technically had eight parts, as Harry was an accidental horcrux and there was still a part of soul in Voldemort himself. And while there was only ever seven horcruxes existing, as Nagini was created after Tom Riddle's Diary was destroyed.
@WannabeRetro True, but the part of voldemort's soul in himself an harry died at the same time, so they really are the same piece because they were created and destroyed together. Still eight parts though (I also forgot about Nagini being created after the first horcruz was destroyed). Thanks for the comment!!!
@thundersquirrel100 The part in himself and Harry weren't destroyed at the same time; the part in Harry was destroyed in the Forbidden Forest, and the part in Voldemort was destroyed when Voldemort died in Harry's and Voldemort's final battle :)
I contribute the the "unintentional falling from heights" statistic. I had to repeatedly tell nurses in the ER that I fell from a horse and hurt my hip & Back while sneezing.
@mangajem Go to your local video game shop and ask for Portal. When you get home, you will play it, and then you will win at life. Yeah, it's basically like that.
If the lie was that there was a lie, then there would be no lie, which would make it not a lie, which would mean it has to be a lie! It's too much of a paradox, it can't be that.
"I'M ON A ROLLER COASTER THAT ONLY GOES UP!" Quoting himself before anybody knows its a quote? Or was it a quote then? Maybe he wrote that into TFiOS after this video. Hmmmm...
I don't think he would have given Hank a dollar if he wrote that song. That's my stab at the lie. I saw this video of John's wedding toast to Hank, and in it, John admitted that he never paid Hank for anything when he said he would pay him.
Don't put yourself in a situation where you could fall? For me, that's standing up. I have actually randomly fallen down, standing normally, talking to my friends. That's how unbalenced I am.
actually, you're not afraid of heights, because (and i can't guarantee the truthfulness of this part, due to not knowing where you live) you are probably hundreds or thousands of feet above sea level. you're actually afraid of edges. and so am i.
no lie
