Lateral Thinking Question Challenge, WITH PRIZES!

pieguy1372's psyche, given his strong sense of right and wrong (black and white) and disturbing animal-in-a-blender fetish (red all over) :P
Co-authoring a hack with Steam Ripper (aka daboys121). Working with him has been nothing but fantastic!
But the first person got the point, its Issac.

A splinter.
An ailment.
It's not even close to Halloween, and already Christmas Sales are starting early!

It is, in fact, a splinter.
So you've heard of this riddle too, huh?

This is what you are solving for. The fill-in-the-blank word explains those two sentences.

Is this related to the solution of the hangman puzzle at all?

Well jesus H.Christ!

Sind got it! On the first try. Kickass dude.

Answer: The two sentences are a paradox. They clash with each other, and therefore, cannot exist.

The following sentence is false
The previous sentence is true.

It is both true and false at the same time, and that is logically impossible. It is a paradox.

Nice job Sind.

Nope. The bucket was empty.
The 3 women he saw first were not the women he gave the ice cream to.
