When the time comes it can't be avoided. It's already happened. Your evasive measures are what will cause you to be hit in the head with the time machine.
Lies! Tomorrow hasn't happened yet! Therefore, I am completely safe until it does happen. And since it's always today, I am forever safe. Yesterday never happened and tomorrow never comes, and all that rot.
Existence is a series of catastrophes through which everything barely but continually survives.
Your rambling jibberish can't save you. It's already happened for Lego, which means it's already happened somewhere, and when tomorrow becomes today, you're getting a concussion.

Ah, the miracle of causality...
Nonsense. Lego has the time machine in his hands. He has hit North with it. It is done. If North goes back in time to try to prevent it, he'll still be powerless to stop it and will likely be the reason it can happen.
Jim has to go farther into the future and create a clone, leap farther into the future to when the clone is the age he was when he first travelled through time and then drop the clone off the second after he leaves to travel through time; then travel two days into the future where he can strangle his clone in the hospital bed and then take his clones place as the real Jim North. It's the only way to avoid getting hit and not cause a cosmic scratch on the record that is the universe making it coninually repeat the same thousand years forever.
Okay, my BROWSER is apparently stuck in the past, because it keeps telling me there's a new post on this thread, and there plainly hasn't been the last six times I clicked on it.
Yeah, I know, if this was an idiot test, I'd have failed five clicks ago.

While it may have happened for Lego, it hasn't happened for me yet . . . my personal timeline has not yet been written. Therefore, thanks to the forewarning that I've gotten about Lego's attack, I will be able to dodge quite nicely and either our two personal timelines shall diverge from each other (meaning he's beaning some other poor Jim North) or his timeline shall be completely rewritten due to his ill-advised tampering with the time machine which allowed me to know of the blow before it hit me.

"It's astounding. Time is fleeting.
Madness takes its toll.
But listen closely, not for very much longer.
I've got to keep control.
I remember doing the time warp,
drinking those moments when
the Blackness would hit me,
and the void would be calling.
Let's do the time warp again!" EVERYBODY! "Let's do the time warp again!
It's just a jump to the left,
and a step to the right.
With your hands on your hips,
you bring your knees in thight.
But it's the pelvic thrust
that really drives you insane.
Let's do the time warp again!
Let's do the time warp again!"
(Etc etc)
Så länge skutan kan gå, så länge hjärtat kan slå, så länge solen den glittrar på böljorna blå...

Diverging time lines are the stuff of science fiction. The timeline is written, and Lego is further along than you are. Yeah, you've been forewarned, and you'll act in everyway trying to dodge the blow, assuring yourself that you'll be fine. But Lego did it, and it's done. You can't stop it, and efforts to do so will surely seal your fate. Like Oedipus.
