an English text (of uncertain origin), as read by Esspeak voice synthesis software, demonstrating a man can be his own grandfather: I married a widow who had a grown-up daughter. My father visited our house very often, fell in love with my step-daughter and married her. So my father became my son-in-law, and my step-daughter my mother, because she was my father’s wife. Sometime afterward my wife had a son; he was my father’s brother-in-law, and my uncle for he was the brother of my stepmother. My father’s wife—i.e., my stepmother—had also a son; he was, of course, my brother, and in the meantime my grandchild, for he was the son of my daughter. My wife was my grandmother, because she was my mother’s mother. I was my wife’s husband and grandchild at the same time. And as the husband of a person’s grandmother is his grandfather, I, AM, MY, OWN, GRANDFATHER !

the story of the guy who became his own grandfather is many times atributed to Mark Twain, check google. But it's also in the Latin culture (my mum first told me this story when I was a kid, she was fascinated about it), so I think the atribution to Twain is probably wrong, who knows. Anyway, it seems clear to me that the story belongs to the public domain

Whoa! Now that's what I call keeping it in the family.
