A paradox is a statement which contradicts itself.

Yeah, I read stuff like this when I'm bored too. Logical fallacies is another amusing thing to read about (especially on RationalWiki).

Lol, this is an easy one, daemon ;)
The key part is "In the Village". The barber travels outside of the village to get shaved. That way none of these rules still apply. Then I'm pretty sure he didn't go all that way just to shave himself, so someone else must have shaved him. :)
Lol, i love the pinnochio one :D

Who says the barber shaves? He could have an epic beard and only trims with scissors making him 'cut' his hair/beard and not shave it.

You obviously don't understand what a paradox means? it's not a puzzle where you can find a reasonable solution to it. It's a self contradictory statement showing the inconsistency in a principle.
