| There's a village in which there's a barber who shaves those men of the village that don't shave themselves, and only them. |
The barber's status of self-barber is paradoxical. I should add paradoxes to the list.

What does your nose smell like?
(I wanted to ask "what noise do your ears make?", but the problem is that, because of the way they connect with the nose, the inner ear sometimes makes quite audible noise. Certain effects can also make you able to see your own eyes without the aid of reflective surfaces. "What does your tongue taste like?" would be valid, though.)
My nose smells like whatever I've been sticking it in.

Do you mean the interior (i.e. the nasal tract) or the entire nose as one part?
If the interior, then to you it smells like nothing (because you'll have been smelling the same smell for however many years you've been alive and outside of a host) but really I guess it smells like normal flesh. I don't know though.

If we are the people of Earth, Earth is the planet of the solar system, our solar system is part of the galaxy, and the galaxy is part of our universe, what is our universe part of?
If someone accidentally punches someone, and that person punches them back, are they "even"?
And the biggest one: Did the chicken come first or did the egg come first?

Our universe is part of a multiverse.
Not unless the punch back is also accidental (opinion).
The egg way precedes the chicken, as fish came before chicken and fish used eggs.

I guess this actually is a fallacy. A connection is being made between statements that aren't connected. Just because structure exists at a lower level, it doesn't necessarily follow that it also exists at a higher level.

| You just moved the problem without actually solving it. |
*grins* They never limited the eggs to a certain species.
| In fact, there's no reason to think otherwise. |
What about the imaginary part of our universe's dimensions? Do we include that as part of our universe or say it simply intersects it?

I can think of situations where you can kill someone and he'll still owe you.

You could answer "well, this egg was laid around a week ago and this chicken hatched around three months ago", or "neither came because they're not here". Why think that the question is not talking about some chicken and egg in particular? Why assume any particular meaning of "to come"?
However, a circle of radius r and center (a,b) on the x-y plane could be described with the help of a couple of parametric equations: x-a=r*cos(t), y-b=r*sin(t), where t takes values from 0 to 2π.
It is clear now that the circle's start is t==0 and its end is t==2π.

Yeah, I just wanted to demonstrate that you can make a circle have a start and an end. In fact, the parametric equations describe a helix in x-y-z space, which apparently has a start and an end if you limit the allowed values for t, and "squeezed" (projected) on the x-y plane produces a circle.

You are confusing measurement with actuality.
A circle is a finite thing, but it has neither start nor end. Just because we pick some point at which to begin measuring it means nothing. If you want to tick people off, go to their homes and turn their globes upside-down, so that antartica is "up". Why is this wrong, except for our common notions?

Because Antarctica has land and Arctica only has ice, and land is heavier than ice, therefore Antarctica goes at the bottom.
Nononononono, chrisname. It's because we want the South magnetic pole of our Earth to be North.
