Considering it happened in Futurama, yes, I have considered it before.

Schrodinger's Cat, anyone? I believe it was he (Schrodinger, not the breeding menace) that coined the term 'paradox', which of course is something that cannot exist in reality, proving the theory in question wrong.
But they can exist.  For example:

This sentence is a lie.

That sentence is a paradox, but it exists and is stored many places in the forms of both pen&paper and digital data storage.

Alternately: The Brick Testament. It's a really fun look at what the bible would look like if interpreted literally. With Legos.
Just so I remember

By definition paradoxes cannot exist. What most people assume is a 'paradox' is either a clever play on words, an assumption built on flawed or misinterpreted conclusions, or just irony.
But then what is this:

This statement is false.
?

Edit: somehow it seems appropriate that ToonyMan was the first to reply.

This is called a "semantic paradox" and no, it is not a paradox. It is only a play on words. The key is a wrong usage of mathematical metalanguage.

this video does not involve a paradox. but dear god it is awesome.

great old sci fi movie called dark star. crewmember tries to talk a sentient bomb out of detonating by teaching it phenomenology. it got the idea across to me far better then my damned philosophy professor. some people were not born to teach.

also that game is neat.

I love when people make games with concepts I had thought of... So original and well implemented...  :) 

I won 14 levels or so when I realized I had reduced my sleeping time to 5 hs... so I went to sleep...

Some other day I will see how far does the rabbit hole go...  8)

yah, in high school i tried and failed to code a similar game, only top down isometric, and you had to avoid letting previous versions of yourself see yourself. it was for one level in a top down shooter which i got working fine, but i never did get the "can the previous version of you see yourself" code working right so i dropped it.

level 26 for me, it seems to go on forever. and now i need to get the 5-6 hours of sleep left to me so i can go to work tomorrow.

I feel i should point out that the concept of the Grandfather Paradox assumes that there is only a single timeline and that it is a linear line from start to finish.

Based on our understanding of spatial dimensions, that is completely wrong.

Paradoxes are there to show us we do not yet have the understanding of how something works.

Hmmm trying out the game now...
