That's hilariously apropos. The Perl Quiz of The Week (qotw) challenge
this week is to write a basic logic parser, and Russel's Paradox has
seen a bit of discussion on that list... and I've just come back from my
massage therapist, who mentioned Russel's Paradox as something he
recently heard about in a "History of Science" course he took.

The available evidence says that we're moving toward a logical world.
Just think, no one will believe Bush anymore... oh, oops.
