    Yes...If a potato went back in time and killed the potato it was grown from...it wouldn't exist to perform the murder. That was too easy.

  • No, but I see we are being subjected to the food paradox.

  • Is that the one where you have to keep an eye out for the potatoes?

  • i think you won :)  ... but speaking of koala bears ....
    A koala is sitting up a gumtree smoking a joint when a little lizard walks past, looks up and says:

     

    "Hey Koala!
    What are you doing?"

    The koala says: "Smoking a joint."
    "Come up and have some."

    So the little lizard climbs up, sits next to the koala
    and they enjoy a large doobie.

    After a while the little lizard says his mouth is dry
    and he is going to get a drink from the river.

    But the little lizard is so stoned that he leans too far over and falls into the river.

    A crocodile sees this, swims over to the little lizard and helps him to the side then asks the little lizard:

    "What's the matter with you?"

    The little lizard explains to the crocodile that he was sitting in the tree, smoking a joint with the koala, got too stoned, and then fell into the river while taking a drink.

    The crocodile says he has to see this.

    So they walk into the rain forest and find the tree where the koala is sitting, with yet another joint.

    He looks up and says, "Hey you!"



    The koala looks down at him and says...

    "Dude.......
    How much water did you drink?

    I've an idea the Potato Paradox arose from the rather gruesome human analogy, perhaps asked by fans of time-travelling science-fiction. Or perhaps vice-versa.

    For I recall vaguely, reading something about possible the effect of travelling back in time and murdering grandparents: would you then be able to return to your own time, given that you've now ensured you do not exist.

    Pardon? How do you make out that I've pinched your answer, Element? You talked only about potatoes - I expanded on that to state I'd seen the paradox previously but involving humans!
