*Ahem* I have removed the "My Little Pony" example because it is not a clear example of an ontological paradox. Twilight Sparkle does not go to the Canterlot library to retrieve the time travel spell, but a different spell; one to stop time. This leaves only "time-related spells are in the Starswirl the Bearded wing" as a possible ontological paradox, and, given Future Twilight's attitude when relaying the information, it's entirely possible Past Twilight knew that much already, but forgot it in the excitement of meeting her former self.

If any of you are wondering why people are discussing ontological paradoxes in My Little Pony -- well, you clearly haven't been watching My Little Pony. [[Special:Contributions/75.210.130.97|75.210.130.97]] ([[User talk:75.210.130.97|talk]]) 01:33, 14 March 2012 (UTC)
