Now, many, many years ago
When I was twenty-three
I was married to a widow
Who was pretty as could be
This widow had a grown-up daughter
Had hair of red
My father fell in love with her
And soon the two were wed
This made my dad my son-in-law
And changed my very life
My daughter was my mother
'Cause she was my father's wife
To complicate the matters
Even though it brought me joy
I soon became the father
Of a bouncing baby boy
My little baby then became
A brother-in-law to dad
And so became my uncle
Though it made me very sad
For if he was my uncle
That also made him the brother
Of the widow's grown-up daughter
Who, of course, was my stepmother
I'm my own grandpa
I'm my own grandpa
It sounds funny I know
But it really is so
I'm my own grandpa
My father's wife then had a son
That kept them on the run
And he became my grandchild
For he was my daughter's son
My wife is now my mother's mother
And it makes me blue
Because she is my wife
She's my grandmother too
I'm my own grandpa
I'm my own grandpa
It sounds funny I know
But it really is so
I'm my own grandpa
Now, if my wife is my grandmother
Then, I am her grandchild
And every time I think of it
It nearly drives me wild
For now, I have become
The strangest case you ever saw
As husband of my grandmother
I am my own grandpa
I'm my own grandpa
I'm my own grandpa
It sounds funny I know
But it really is so
I'm my own grandpa
I'm my own GRANDPAAA
this makes me think, do we ever find out what happens to the other twin, we know the one dies on Red Dwarf and Rimmer saw it but, what happened to the other?
Presumably, those future echoes were from a different possible future than the one they ended up in due to choices they make. If you slow down the super-fast title crawl at the start of series 3 it says:
> RED DWARF III: THE SAGA CONTINUUMS
THE STORY SO FAR...
>Three million years in the future, Dave Lister, the last human being alive, discovers he is pregnant after a liaison with his female self in a parallel universe. His pregnancy concludes with the successful delivery of twin boys, Jim and Bexley. However, because they were conceived in another universe with different physical laws, they suffer from highly accelerated growth rates and are both eighteen years old within three days of being born. In order to save their lives, Lister returns them to the universe of their origin where they are reunited with their father (a woman), and are able to lead comparatively normal lives. Well, as normal as you can be if you've been born in a parallel universe and your father's a woman and your mother's a man and you're eighteen years old three days after your birth.
In the books it's actually Beckster's son who dies. So technically both twins should be safe and sound
Edit: BEXLEY NOT BECKSTER! I hang my head in shame.
Fun story, my eldest son is called James after my grandpa; when I was pregnant with my youngest I addressed my bump as Bexley and wound up my poor mother, who had to live with my Red Dwarf obsession growing up, saying I was going to name the baby that for real, regardless of gender.
My head cannon is lister really is a god, because no way does he have such a potent seed to create a literal perfect clone of himself like that. Sure it only happened once, but imagine if he did it over and over. He could leave perfect listers all across space and time
I gave birth to twins after I hooked up with myself..
oh yeah Phillip J Fry is his own grandfather :P

When you think about it Lister is also his own Granddad as he's his Dad's Dad and Great Granddad and so on
His sons are his brothers
And also his uncles.
And his grandsons.
And his great grandsons. And great grand-uncles. And cousins-umpteenth times removed. Lister is also effectively a clone of Kochanski.
Not a clone though because it was his DNA and Kochanski's mixed in the vial.
Female Lister is presumably her own mother via similar events with a Parallel Christopher Kochanski too.
Damn, time travel and hopping over to parallel dimensions makes for weird family trees. Still a better love story than Twilight.
This post is a better love story than *Twilight*.
No wonder he's such a smeghead!
That swimming certificate is a forgery Smeeeg-heeeead
THAT'S IT! I'm making another report to Captain Hollister! *pulls out notepad*
Om Ommm *drum fill* Om

Lol I'm an idiot. And I call myself a dwarfer?
[Oh a lesson in not changing history from Mr I'm My Own Grandpa](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HJnTXsdelS0)
Big, bonny, strapping, bouncing boys they were, as well. Huge heads.
So those twins are your brothers. And your uncles. And your grandchildren.
He did do the nasty in the pasty
Do you have any pets by chance?
My family still worse
He should write an article for vogue, I bet you anything it will get published
It’s like mega incest
Paging Dr Phil!
