Hey, thanks, it's the name I gave a program of mine, but I won't spoil the game by elaborating on the origin of the term. ^^
(Unless someone wants me to.)
It has the tendency to crash after some time for the threads are not properly synchronized, but currently I don't have the time and motivation to continue that project...

I want to know, Telofy. So it shall be part of the word's story.

Ok, here comes my version, only with reversed causality:
Watchan is a program designed to watch 4chan (and other imageboards but I think they aren't yet included in the configuration) and the next sentence is false. The previous sentence is true so I haven't said anything and thus didn't break rules 1 and 2, right? Hmm, I think I have to note this paradox down in formalized notation to understand what I've just asserted... ^^
Edit: Ok, I still don't fathom it.
