Thanks.
So my first thought when I saw this was that you are really an honest person, because you are saying you are a liar, but if you were lying about that, then you are not really an honest person....etc etc.

This is called the Liar's Paradox:

Quote:
The paradox was once discussed by St. Jerome in a sermon:

"I said in my alarm, 'Every man is a liar!' "(Psalms 116:11) Is David telling the truth or is he lying? If it is true that every man is a liar, and David's statement, "Every man is a liar" is true, then David also is lying; he, too, is a man. But if he, too, is lying, his statement: "Every man is a liar," consequently is not true. Whatever way you turn the proposition, the conclusion is a contradiction. Since David himself is a man, it follows that he also is lying; but if he is lying because every man is a liar, his lying is of a different sort."[3]
Why yes, I am feeling philosophical this morning. Why do you ask?
