Thought for the day:
So, if you went back in time, and killed your mother when she was three, what would happen? Well, your mother wouldn't live to have you. So you wouldn't exist. So you couldn't go back in time and kill your mother. So you would exist. So you would kill her. So then you wouldn't exist... Who knows what would happen? The whole universe might unravel... or maybe there are alternate time lines, a la Star Trek. It's for this situation, a paradox, that I think it's key that we never come up with time travel. Just imagine going back 100 years and dropping your pocket calculator... devastating.
On a side note, I got to see Garbage in concert tonight, my favourite band. Shirley looked great *sigh.* Sadly, she did not send a bouncer out to fetch me and take me backstage for post-concert stress relief... but I hold out hope ever time I see them in concert.

That's a nice thought for the day, important problem when considering time travel. There seems to be alot of contradictions in it. Whats the whole concept of time travel based upon anyways? Relativity? String theory? I think I should shut up now because I don't know what I'm talking about.. I still need to read A Brief History of Time that's been collecting dust up on my bookshelf for almost a year.
and yeah...I think I am that boring, but if you don't, then I shall get rid of it.
