She turned me into a nute!
It’s newt.
i got better…
BURN her anyways!!!
tell me, what do you do with witches?
BURN THEM!!! YEAHHH!!!!
Then where’s Ripley?
In Bavaria the trees are made of wood!
Trees are made of wood in most places. Except that halloween shop where they sell plastic trees with ghosts hanging off them.
or christmastTrees made out of aluminium
Nothing paradoxical about this.
No, its not.
You burn witches, therefore must either be made of wood, therefore witches must float, therefore the witch must weigh the same as a duck. None can be true without the last. Its non-paradoxical and all relative.
Gah, people, learn the definition of a paradox! Gah! Who keeps voting this crap up to the front page?
Here is a paradox:
A man travels through a wormhole one minute into the last. Through the wormhole, he shoots and kills himself, prior to entering the workhole. So how could he go through the workhole to shoot himself?
THAT is a paradox.
That would be a workhole.
The paradox is: How did it become a workhole?
…What *is* a workhole anyway?
It’s what they call mineshafts now. Apparently the old name was too provocative, but I think it’s about as effective as renaming Uranus “Urectum.”
That got more laughs from me than the last 4 graphs!
This may be because I don’t watch a whole lot of Monty Python… but I don’t get it.
It’s a, poorly made, reference to Holy Grail.
What is with the commas?
Now, if he had said:
“Its…..
A poorly made reference to Monty Python and the Holy Grail.”
he would have had something.
This is crap. According to the movie, everything that weighs the same as a duck is made of wood. That’s why they weighed her against the duck to begin with…to find out if she was made of wood. I like a good Monty Python joke as much as anyone, but this one fails.
I concur, this is a bigger fail than that time I was hitting on Michael J. Fox.
It’s a bigger waste of time than Peter’s cow kite.
NICE!
That, and it’s not even remotely a paradox.
This graph really is poorly done. How about we enjoy the original clip?:
Lights out, I hear a Witch..
This is not actually a joke the guys of Monty Python and their writers had to make-up, this was actually thought by many witch-hunters. The “unfailing” logic was that if the woman floated she was a witch, and if she sank and drowned (since most people didn’t know how to swim it was a real possibilitiy) then she was sent to heaven and therefore in a better place.
Also, I rather like the graph:)
True. MP didn’t come up with this on their own. It was based on historical morons. The real joke in the movie is that the woman actually weighs the same as a duck, according to their scale.
You should also check out the scale after they leave, it’s a little rigged…
Yes, it is a joke they had to make up. Hence the wood and the duck. It was based on the old witch-hunting tactic, but that wasn’t the joke. The joke was the logic that they were testing to see if she was made of wood, not whether she could float.
Also, the graph is shite because it’s not a paradox.

You win epically for having a name that references The Music Man, if that is in fact what it is a reference to.
‘And what burns apart from Witches?’ ‘Err…. More witches!’
somebody care to explain to me how this is a paradox?
It isn’t.
‘What else floats in water?’ ‘Very small rocks.’
I watched scene for the first time in my high school physics class because the teacher thought it was hilarious. I must concur.
The important thing people like to forget: she WAS a witch. After the weighing, as she’s led away, you clearly hear her say, “It’s a fair cop.”
She was being sarcastic.
There’s no sarcasm in her tone.
It WAS a fair cop.
Not ONLY is this not a paradox in any way, it’s also a complete failure of use of a Venn diagram…
So many things in this are wrong. *Tries to think of something good about it*
At least they spelt paradox right…
It’s only a model
lol ur a couple of scenes off…. but good refrence
WIN!
I arrange, design, and sell shrubberies.
Haha… I broke both my arms a while ago. The doctor said I might have an occult fracture in my left elbow. Naturally I had to weigh it against a duck. It was not made of wood, so luckily we didn’t have to burn my elbow… okay, maybe not really, I hadn’t even seen Monty Python at that time… but it would have been funny!
look, you stupid bastard, you had one arm left!
..How is that a paradox?
That’s what I was wondering… funny diagram but not a paradox. Makes perfect sense to me. Idiot-made graph.
I see a reasonably funny venn diagram but no paradox anywhere… hrmm…
This my favorite movie of all time comedy/drama.sci fi. My favorite. Almost 40 years now. Shot on a budget of 60,000.00 pounds, no one has been able to match it on any level since. So go and boil your bottoms, son of a silly person.
