I have never known any story to perfectly account for all aspects of 
time travel.  You gotta let a few things go :-)  this reminds me of a 
quote:  "Yes, in episode *** where Itchy plays the ribs of Scratchy 
like a xylaphone, he clearly plays the same rib twice in succession, 
each time creating a different pitch.  Are we to beleive that this is 
some sort of, *snicker*, magic xylaphone?"
