A scientist was leading an archaeological dig deep in South America.
One day he was captured by head-hunters
He was taken to their leader and the leader told our friend Mr. Scientist, "You will be allowed to say one true-false statement. If the statement is true, you will be burned alive. If the statement is false, you will be boiled in hot fat."
What was the only thing the Scientist could say to save his life?

"You are going to boil me in hot fat."
If this was a lie, they should boil him, so it would become true, so they should burn him alive, so it woul become a lie...the head-hunters lost their heads with this! Good one.

I don't have any bad habits except lying.

Everything I say now is true. Everything I just said is false.
