If God exists and is able to create anything, can God create a rock so heavy even he cannot lift it?

I believe this one has a relatively simple solution. The answer being no.
An omnipotent being, to be omnipotent, must be able to do only anything that is logically possible.
For example, I would not expect an omnipotent being to show me a circle with four sides because the nature of its existence precludes that it cannot exist.
The same is said for a rock so heavy an omnipotent being could not lift it. No such rock is logically possible because weight is irrelevant to an omnipotent being.
However, this does not show a restraint on the omnipotents power but a restraint on the nature of the universe.
