My Word of the Day Calendar isn't Paying Off

I think my Onion Horoscope of the week is too smart for me.

Leo July 23 - August 22
Your interest in temporal paradoxes ends almost before it begins this week, which considering the subject matter, is strangely fitting.

I had to look up "temporal paradoxes" in order to understand why it was funny, sigh, oh well I can't know everything...yet.

From what I understand, temporal paradoxes are time traveling events that through one's actions in time travel make the possibility of that event impossible. For example, if you go back in time and kill your grandfather, your father will not have been born and therefore you will not have been born, this makes a temporal paradox. Crazy, hey?
