   What about “This statement is false and I cannot fly.” If the statement is true, then it must be false, so the statement is false. This means that “I cannot fly” is false” so logically, I can fly. Of course, logic has again failed, since I can’t actually fly.

   Nice, that is an even trickier one than what I came up with. Cheers.
