Given my fondness for paradoxes… and, for Raymond Smullyan... I couldn't help but love this weekend post from Ray T. Cook on paradoxes (and why to study them) at Oxford University Press blog:

After offering his own example that he once posed to the master logician Smullyan, Cook goes on to talk about the mathematical complexity of paradoxes before ending thusly:
"...that's why I work on paradoxes: their surprising mathematical complexity and mathematical beauty. Fortunately for me there is still a lot of work that remains to be done, and a lot of complexity and beauty remaining to be discovered."
Fortunately
for me, there is still a lot of work that remains to be done, and a lot
of complexity and beauty remaining to be discovered. - See more at:

Also, Ray has apparently written a short book entirely on Yablo's Paradox which I've mentioned here before (and which the above post is related to):
