    @JTK

    No matter what

    Every large mammal will go extinct in my lifetime.

    Since human beings are large mammals, this statement is self negating. I saw that episode, dude:

    Captain Kirk: Harry lied to you, Norman. Everything Harry says is a lie. Remember that, Norman. *Everything* he says is a lie.

    Harcourt Fenton Mudd: Now I want you to listen to me very carefully, Norman. I'm... lying.

    Norman: You say you are lying, but if everything you say is a lie, then you are telling the truth, but you cannot tell the truth because you always lie... illogical! Illogical! Please explain! You are human; only humans can explain! Illogical!
