If Pinocchio says "my nose will grow now", and it doesn't, he lied, so it should grow, but if it grows, he told the truth, so it shouldn't have grown.

If I say that I'm lying, am I lying or am I telling the truth?

That reminds me of a riddle. There are two guards, each is stood in front of a door. You must enter one door only. One door leads to riches and the other door leads to certain death. You don't know which door is which. You are allowed to ask one question only and can pose the question to only one of the two guards. However, one guard always answers truthfully and the other guard always lies but you don't know which guard is which. What question do you ask and to which guard - the guards and their corresponding door are marked 'A' and 'B'. There is actually a solution to this!

Easy - ask the guard who doesn't look like Nick Clegg.

Both guards look identical. I forgot to mention that they are only allowed to say "Yes" or "No" in response to whatever your one question is. The solution to this is quite neat and not difficult. It just needs a little lateral thinking.

This is a logic question and can be answered if one realizes that the TRUTH of a LIE is a LIE, and the LIE of a TRUTH is a LIE. You need one guard to give you the other guard’s answer. Knowing this one could ask a question like, “If I were to ask the other guard which door leads to freedom, what would he say?”
If you ask the guard who always tells the truth, he would tell you the other guard would point you to the door of death. If you ask the guard who always lies, he would tell you the opposite door of the truth-telling guard and point you to the door of death. In either case, both guards will point to the door of death so you should choose the other one.
...I totally answered this myself and at no point did I use Google to find the answer...

I believe you! 
You got the right answer anyway. Congratulations.

This sounds like a question my stoner friends would try to debate

...of course, everyone who's seen Labyrinth already knew the answer to this... ¬_¬

Can God create a rock bigger than he can move?
God can do anything...
So why couldn't he move a rock-regardless of the size?
But He can also create anything without any restrictions...
