So I'm sure by now you all have heard this situation:

If Pinocchio would say "My nose is about to grow!" what would happen?

So, post your theories here, this is mine:

My guess is, that the nose growing is based on the conditions at the time of making the statement. That way, his nose would grow, because at the time of saying it, it would be a false statement, despite that it will grow after that, because that is a future event and thus does not come into the equation.
