Russell's Paradox

"Nothing contains everything", applied:

A man of Seville is shaved by the Barber of Seville if and only if the man does not shave himself. Does the barber shave himself ?

* If the barber does not shave himself, he must abide by the rule and shave himself.
* If he does shave himself, according to the rule he will not shave himself.

And, another one:

"One of themselves, even a prophet of their own, said, the Cretians are alway liars, evil beasts, slow bellies. This testimony is true."
Titus 1:12-14 (King James Version)
