#2 Genghis is very missunderstood, the majority of the expansion of his land was done after his death(including the more barbaric actions he is attributed to, gheng DID raze cities, but only after they killed his messengers, he was pretty protective of his messengers),
the men who lead after him always said everything they did, they did in the name of Genghis Khan..
(and of course, as per historian thinking, why would so many things be done in this man's name if he did not yet live ? heh)

#3 He was a kind and gentle man who rarely razed cities, but did so when necessary. A gent. A credit to his race. The father of BBQ!

#4 I'm a direct decendant of Genghis. Trailer parks are full of us. It's a life style that works well, what with all the torching of one berg after another. it's a mobility thing.

At family gatherings, we all like sit around, get ignorant, and wax tales of past and future glories. Most of the stories are passed down via songs.

Sometimes a family member will try to change a lyric, just for fun, to see if anybody can catch it. We always do.

#6 Khans tomb has never been found, and it's said to hold riches from all over his vast territory. Nobody beat him when he was alive, and nobody has found him when he's dead.

#8 Lucky: I guess when you move your trailer you are trolling for tornados.

#9 Well Shipman, if he was the father of BBQ we can forgive any killing and pillaging.
