The cake is a lie

^^ After using up all the riddles I knew on Winnie yesterday, I looked up some more (btw Wibbles, I looked up the answer to your six toothpicks four triangles question -facepalm- not only was that fairly obvious, I realise now that I've heard that question twice before. My mind refuses to think in 3D. aha)

Anywho
found this awesome paradox, which has been around since circa. 200 BC:
A crocodile steals a baby from its mother, and promises to return the baby if the mother correctly guesses what the crocodile will do.
The mother guesses that the crocodile will not return the baby.

which got me thinking about the "this sentence is a lie"
which reminded me about people saying "the cake is a lie"

My brother had to explain that to me.. it comes from a game called Portal, where you play as Chell, who is a test subject trying to get out of all these rooms by using her portal gun, which makes portals so she can get around without getting killed. So it's like a puzzle game in the sense that you have to figure out where to make the portal so that she ends up where she wants to go.

And apparently she is offered cake (and grief counselling?) as a reward if she manages to get through all the stages, but later in the game there are messages from past test subjects saying "the cake is a lie." Because the computer who instructs Chell has gone insane. O.o
Portal sounds really interesting. and freaky. haha

Hope everyone is having fun now that their exams are over =)
Spanish and Latin are quite fun to study compared to the sciences, I think. Feels less.. intense, somehow. lol
