There's nothing funny about this, so dont even bother reading further than this title.

I was reading about "Corax and Tisius" for a comunications test. Corax had been teaching Tisius the art of rhetoric, which in those days meant the art of defending oneself in court. Tisius, feeling he had not gotten proper instruction in the craft, took Corax to court to get his money back. As the legend goes, Tisius argued that if he loses the court case, it proves his point – he did not get the proper instruction – and thus should win the case. Corax argued that if Tisius wins, it proves that he did get the proper instruction, and thus Tisius should lose the case. The story ends there, but it can be reasonably assumed that, at that point, the court spontaneously combusted.
