    This is not a paradox.
    I personally think that if you go back in time and kill your grandpa you werent ever born, so you couldn't go back in time

    If you go back in time, and kill your grandfather, you would still exist in a parallel universe in which you didn't kill him.

    Numerical paradox (requires good knoledge of mathematics):

    2>1 The statment is true, yes?

    1x0 = 0 This statment is true
    2x0 = 0 This statment is also true
    Therefore

    2x0 = 1x0 Correct?

    If we remove a common factor of zero, we are left with

    2 = 1

    but we have already said that 2 > 1

    Confused?

    2*0=1*0
    we can divide both sides...
    by a NONZERO number
    go reading math books

    Answer truthfully (yes or no) to the following question: Will the next word you say be 'no'?

    @therocketeer
    yes, but if its yes then its no. Ahh... a paradox. I'm freaking out. No seriously could you make some paradox that really needs thinking.
