Yeah, that box is definitely open on one end isn't it. Who knows how many have escaped!

What is wrong then with the +++++++++++++++++++++ - statements? If they are statements, and they are true, it is still the "three"-statement which is true.

The only one that is true, out of the 4 "in the box" is the third one the other three are false...
So is the statement that if only I'd have gone to the top of my Fora list instead of the bottom I'd have a point today!

To be different, I'll say that that fourth statement is true, as all of the statements are about falsity and therefore are, from a certain point of view, false statements.
