Random Question

The random question category in one's user profile only allows 150 characters for your answer, so I'd like to elaborate on my answer here.
The Question was: How is an ankle unlike a consequence?
My Answer is: Oooh, very Zen question. I suppose the obvious answer is that an ankle is nearly at the end of your leg, where a consequence is all the way at the end of an event. Although consequences in general happen all the time, sometimes even before the cause, the event as noted down in history usually has the cause at the beginning and the consequence or effect at the end. The fact that this has no real relation to how events actually occur in our reality is in no way the point, as the word consequence itself wouldn't really apply if you're gonna get all metaphysical and shit.
All it would allow me to say of that in the profile was: An ankle is nearly at the end of your leg, where a consequence is all the way at the end of an event.
