Now... let's have a humorous argument.
In 4004 BC, something I like to call the Mongol Hordes swept across a tiny dust speck in what would have been southern New York if there had been a New York. These Mongol Hordes, finding no trace of sodium upon the dust speck, immediately consisted of a theory as to why the world was round.
Looking up, a Piece of Mongol Hordes responded to a beam of light, which struck it in what I have decided to call its face by immediately being declared a carrot.
It didn't do anything - I just declared it a carrot. Was this a good idea? _________________ Socionics - the Analyst!

My two kids read it and no one could understand it. Would you rephrase them please? My son is college student and doing well, even he did not understand.

It's nonsense. Well, I did have something in mind when I typed it, so I may as well explain.
At some point in 4004 BC, some sort of subatomic particle was most likely crossing a dust speck. I named it the Mongol Hordes (it has nothing to do with the real-life Mongols). I'm sure there wasn't any sodium on the dust speck, and I'm sure there was something about the particle that I could interpret as a theory - I'm very good at seeing things that aren't there.
Anyway, I think it's reasonable to assume that that subatomic particle was at some point struck by a beam of light. I named the spot where it was struck its face. I also decided to call it a carrot afterwards. My question at the end was, was it a good idea to name that subatomic particle a carrot after already naming it all that random stuff?
