"You say you are lying, but if everything you say is a lie, then you are telling the truth, but you cannot tell the truth because you always lie... Illogical! Illogical! Please explain! You are human - only humans can explain! Illogical!"
One of my favourite conceits in science fiction is that a computer or robot can be made to cease functioning or blow up if it is fed illogical or nonsense input.
"Logic is a little tweeting bird chirping in a meadow. Logic is a wreath of pretty flowers which smell bad. Are you sure your circuits are functioning correctly? Your ears are green."
