Here's the story - http://ieng9.ucsd.edu/~mfedder/zombies.html

It's a real fun story exploring the peculiar paradoxes of time travel :), where a man becomes his own father and mother and son :D !!

That could have used a spoiler warning vinutheraj.

The entire Wikipedia article posted is a giant spoiler...

Hmm, well I knew what I did was not the best way, but I thought if I just linked the story, not many people would read the whole thing ! So I thought this was the best way to reach out to a larger audience, give them a summary of the story.

A while back I read Michio Kaku's _Hyperspace_, which makes mention of this short story but not by name. Thanks!

Ah, perfect for a lazy Saturday morning.

Thank you.

I've heard of By His Bootstraps but it appears I had never actually read it - thanks!

Appears as Escape Pod episode 200: http://escapepod.org/2009/07/02/ep-200-all-you-zombies/ for people that would rather listen than read.

Well, even if it wasn't totally original, the Futurama where Fry becomes his own grandfather was hilarious.
