Vocabulaire, vocabulaire...

Who, out of you people reading my blog who have probably got much better things to do, knows what "tautology" is?
I didn't until the other day when my dad told me it was saying the same thing twice using different words. As opposed to tortology which is the study of cakes.
example: free gift (a gift is necessarily free otherwise it isn't a gift)
The other thing me and my dad looked up on Wikipedia (we were bored) was paradoxes. The best one has to be:
The next sentence is true. The previous sentence is false.
See if you can work that one out!
