paradox Explanation: Corinthe = Griekse stad Turkey = Turkije (een land) Een land kan niet goed de eigenschappen van een buitenlandse stad hebben. beide betrokken landen zijn nato-lid, maar toch ook aartsvijanden. De twee gaan dus niet smen. Kortom: de uitdrukking kan eigenlijk niet bestaan, is met zichzelf in tegenspraak. Zie ook deze: "Alle kretenzers liegen altid" zei de taxichaufeur in Heraklion. |
