  3. I know that I know nothing at all

  6. It is opposite day today.

1. He grows a beard
2. Definitely not
3. You say it best, when you say nothing at all
4. That's not a paradox, that's a lesson well learnt
5. He's a Cretan, so you can't trust them
6. No it isn't
7. Only if it's jelly and it was put in the fridge

A paradox, a paradox, a most ingenious paradox.
