Ah, that was a hint that it was a chromosome joke. Haploid are sets of 3 and diploid are sets of 4. Clever.true_fan_of_six wrote:57721<3

there is a lot of stuff it could be, including a reference to one of the much earlier comics.

That's what I figured at first but I've come to expect awful jokes like these to at least be more deep than that...Guest wrote:(4) words for you
4 = 3

THERE ARE FOUR LIGHTS!
This comic is either a simple paradox joke or a science joke that goes over my head.

It's just another version of self-reference, like, "this phrase is true," or, "this phrase is false." It doesn't necessarily contain a paradox. (The first is either true or false, the second is neither or both.) So, if someone says to you, "I have four words for you: four equals three," then they're either right -- they gave you four words and (they believe that) four equals three-- or they're lying -- they gave you three words, and (they believe that) four does not equal three. The only way to determine the statements truthfulness (whether or not the speaker believes they are lying) is by examining the statement itself.
Honestly, I didn't get the joke, except that it's fun to confuse people.
By the way, this is where the concept of statements that are simultaneously true and not-true (as mentioned in that comic about politicians) came from.

Police said they spent some time working out if they could charge the man with being armed with a weapon, as technically he was armed with part of a fish.
