Russel's Papadox

(rec_humor_cull, true, chuckle)

The great logician Betrand Russell (or was it A.N. Whitehead?) once claimed that he could prove anything if given that 1+1=1.

So one day, some smarty-pants asked him, "Ok. Prove that you're the Pope."

He thought for a while and proclaimed, "I am one. The Pope is one. Therefore, the Pope and I are one."
