     Now, the interesting situation arises when we wish to use one of
     these words to classify the adjective "HETEROLOGICAL" itself. Is it
     an autological or an heterological adjective? That is, is "not true
     of itself" true of itself or not? Lets see some replies...

Only non-self-shaving barbers need respond to this.

Those of you into logic will quickly recognize this as a version of
Russell's paradox.
