Killing Your Grandmother!

[NotAFan]

Assuming you could go back in time: If you could go back in time and kill your own Grandmother, You would cease to exist! But if you cease to exist you couldn't have been able to go back in time to kill your own Grandmother. So is it possible to go back in time and kill your own Grandmother? :headscratch:

Before or after you had sex with her?

You know, if you're by yourself long enough in a room,
(and when I say "long enough", I'm talking in years)
with no social ties/skills/friends to connect with,
you can come up with some really crazy crap
while all alone with your thoughts. Be careful.

If such thoughts stay in that head of yours long enough,
you might start to take all that mess too seriously,
and put you in the furthest end of the geek spectrum,
the kind that runs akin to Firefly's Reavers... socially speaking, of course.

:headscratch: :goodbye: :confused:

If a tree falls in the woods and nobody is around to hear it......

Did the woodchuck do it?

If you could go back in time and kill your own grandmother, you would cease to exist! But if you cease to exist you wouldn't have been able to go back in time to kill your own grandmother in the first place. But if you did go back in time to kill your own grandmother, and succeeded, would she be able to go back in time to kill her own grandmother? Then, if you went back in time to kill you grandmother and your grandmother already went back in time to kill her grandmother, you would have to kill your grandfather instead. But what if you went back in time to kill your grandmother, but she had already gone back in time to kill hers so you had to kill your grandfather instead, except he had also gone back in time to kill his grandfathe, could you follow them back in time to kill your great, great grandparents before they could do it first? Assuming that you could, would it then be necessary to kill your grandparents directly or would they cease to exist before you could kill them? Or would you cease to exist before they ceased to exist, making it all moot?

Why is everyone killing everybody? What kind of homicidal maniacs are in this family anyway?

Sheesh!

[Strider]

Because that would be mean. Old Spock isn't mean. :wink:
