Assuming time is circular, what you do is this: Someone makes a wish or something, which you then must figure out how to turn into a paradox (never-ending loop of time)(ex. of a verbal paradox: This statement is not true).
Rules: No copying others wishes/paradoxes.
Have fun.
Check this every day, please.
I wish for an atom bomb.
This requires too much thought.

Give us an example Paradox Man.
Sounds pretty simple to me....
You get an atom bomb, which you then accidently fire at a hole in the time space continuum, sending the atom bomb back in time, and then destroying the atom bomb facotry which produced the bomb.....BEFORE IT WAS EVEN MADE!
I wish I had a piece of pie.
So all the answers are going to be basically the same?
You go back in time and eat the pie.
That doesn't work......as then the pie isn't what caused the pie to be eaten in the first place....if however this happened.....
You get a piece of pie which is then knocked out of your hands by an eagle and immediately ran over by a truck. You really wanted that pie, so you devise a way to go back in time to eat the pie before you even got it. However, since the pie is no longer there, you never went back in time, which then cause the pie to be there again.....creating the infinite loop. 8)

That doesn't even make sense. "The pie is no longer there", what's that supposed to mean?
The pie would no longer be in the future for you to get and then have ran over since you just ate it in the past. ::)

Oh. But the pie doesn't cause the pie to be eaten in this case either, the eagle and lorry does. Yours is just a ridiculously long winded version of my answer.
I'm afraid you are quite incorrect my good sir.....as your answer implies that if you never recieved a pie you still might go back and eat it anyways.......with my answer the reason he went back in time is explicitly states as because the aforementioned pie was involved. Without recieving the pie, I would never go back in time.

So does mine. He couldn't go back in time and eat the pie without receiving the pie in the first place.
Yes he could. >:(
His going back in time has nothing to do with the fact that he recieved the pie.
Or if so....you neglected to mention it. >:(
Now post a proper paradox or I win.
A father and son are driving down a road. The car collides with a tree and the father is killed. The boy is rushed to the nearest hospital where he is prepared for emergency surgery. On entering the surgery suite, the male surgeon says, "I can't operate on this boy. He's my son."
Two gay guys got married in Canada and then adopted a son. The surgeon was the boy's other father.
POST A REAL PARADOX K THX BAI
A father and his biological son are driving down a road. The car collides with a tree and the biological father is killed. The boy is rushed to the nearest hospital where he is prepared for emergency surgery. On entering the surgery suite, the male surgeon says, "I can't operate on this boy. He's my biological son."
They are members of an alien race in which children are made by the males mating with the males, and the surgeon was the boy's other biological father...
EZ! THAT'S STRIKE TWO, ONE MORE AND YOU'RE OUT!
REAL PARADOX PLZ!
A human father and his biological human son are driving down a road. The car collides with a tree and the biological human father is killed. The same human boy described in the previous two sentences is rushed to the nearest hospital where he is prepared for emergency surgery. On entering the surgery suite, the male human surgeon says, "I can't operate on this boy. He's my biological human son."
By a rare coincidence, the alien race I described in my last post are also known as humans.
I WIN!
