Tautologies are great, or they're not.

I discovered something the other day - I love tautologies.


You might never have heard of a tautology, but you probably hear the sneaky little suckers on a daily basis.


For example:
I'll see you when I see you.
That's a tautology, or as Google's Dictionary puts it, 
A statement that is true by necessity, or by virtue of its logical form.
Why do I like tautologies? Probably because they're little packets of truth, impervious to any attempt to disprove them.

What are some of your favourite tautologies? Share them in the Comments section. I might publish the best in my next post.

But don't hold your breath.

It'll happen when it happens.
