The Fenestration Paradox

The burning need (whilst stoned) to both lie down, get up and eat something, drinking something and play more Mario. This creates the ultimate paradox in that you can never be doing what you want to, despite attempting to do what you need constantly.

Complainer's Paradox

While something may be terribly annoying, listening to someone complaining about that thing is always worse.

Alternatively: The only thing more annoying than (x) is someone who can't stop complaining about (x).
Andy: I hate this snow! I'd rather live in Iraq than in this terrible weather!
Bill: Shut up.
Andy: Why? You hate snow as much as I do!
Bill: Yeah, but listening to you whine is worse. Complainer's Paradox.
Andy: Oh, I'm sorry.

Poe Paradox

The Poe Paradox is a corollary to Poe's Law. It states that:

"In any fundamentalist group where Poe's Law applies, a paradox exists where any new person (or idea) sufficiently fundamentalist to be accepted by the group, is likely to be so ridiculous that they risk being rejected as a parodist (or parody)."

The term was first used by RationalWiki editor The Lay Scientist to describe an apparent paradox in the management of editing rights at Conservapedia:
A poe paradox: any new member of the Conservapedia project who's not as Conservative as them is liable to be chucked out. However, any new member who is as Conservative as them is in serious danger of being called a parodist, and chucked out.

Paradox

Somewhat like a Mindfuck. Paradoxes are usually used as an example for the impossible or that god exists. Such as with every negative will come a positive.
If there is Anti-Matter, how can there be matter?
The girl died of , but thanks to the research done by the scientists based on her case, they were able to save the lives of many others.

You prevent your mother from creating yourself with your dad. But as a result, you wouldn't exist, therefore you couldn't do it in the first place. It's essentially an endless cycle.
These are examples of a paradox.

Paradox Head

Getting head, whilst doing something extremely nerdy. Causing the spectrum of extremely nerdy and extremely cool to collide. This usually causes a small black hole in the general area where the paradox head took place.
