Some quick logical Fallacies

Lazy update just to have this written down somewhere.

Contradictions - "What happens when an immovable object meets an unstoppable force"

The nature of this argument, briefly, is fallacious because whilst it's meant to propose a paradox it is in fact a meaningless statement. By definition of the two entities both cannot exist at the same time. It is a contradiction in itself. Like saying:

A = ~A

You cannot have a situation like that if we apply that to reality.

It is one of those brainteasers that is supposed to make us all go "ahhhh" as if we've found some immutable truth to the world. When really we haven't. We're just defining two absolute opposites of each other on a scale of 1 to 10.

Of course people may wonder, is this me saying this in support of some vague God argument.

In response I say, "Of course not! There are much better arguments that are less childish for pwning the ridiculous nature of theism"

So there you go. This is the fallacy of meaningless question.
