LOL!!! No it isn't. to say that it is F is to imply / logically entail that 'there is a present king of france and that present king of france is bald' is F.

(oops)

> but of course 'there is a present king of france' is F.

Yep.

Yep.

:-(

Crap.

I'm sure it was neither true nor false because it led to contradiction if we regarded it as false...

help...
