I grabbed my shotgun and went hunting for a paradox. They were flying north over Cutter's pond. I blasted one and the other got away. I ate the one that got away.
Ah ha! I knew there was a working paradox!: A veridical paradox produces a result that appears absurd but is demonstrated to be true nevertheless. Thus, the paradox of Frederic's birthday in The Pirates of Penzance establishes the surprising fact that a twenty-one-year-old would have had only five birthdays if he had been born on a leap day.
I like paradoxes. Can Q make a rock so big even he can't lift it? Sure. Doing that, and then the next task, being able to lift it, are two separate tasks. Omnipotence does not require all things to be done simultaneously.
