Ghenghis Khan Descendants Eat For Free

Posted by timothy on from the with-paying-adult-one-offer-per-customer dept.

pillageplunder writes "CNN has an article about a London restaurant that is offering diners the chance to see if they are descended from the great Khan (Genghis that is). If you are, then you get a free meal. The article delves a bit into bioarchaeology, with some pretty interesting tidbits of info."

    But what they don't say is that at the next table are the decendants of the Tibetan kingdom and the Chin empire. And they are looking to settle the score!

  3. Test to prove you are a Genghis Khan descendant: by ianezz · · Score: 4, Funny

    1) Do you have a predilection for little fur hats?

    2) Do you prefer axes to climbing roses on the door of your cottage?

    3) Have you ever suffered of inexplicable but terrbly attractive visions of houses consumed by fire?

    4) Have you ever felt your brain filled with a thousand hairy horsemen shouting at you?

    If the answer is "yes" to all questions, you are a Genghis Khan descendant, unfortunately you are too busy lying in the mud to go to the pub -- pardon, restaurant.

    "We've had Mongolian people who've traveled across London to give us their details," said Hugo Malik, bar manager of Shish, which is giving away one DNA test at each of its two London branches every day through Friday.

    All the way across London? Verily, these Mongolians have lost none of the nomadic spirit of their forefathers!

    Once you get labeled "descendant" of any powerful ruler, I doubt you'll have to wait long until someone shows up at your front door demanding restitution.

    Obviously, it's a clever plot to *eradicate* the descendants of the Khan.

  12. Ghenghis Khan's death by BinLadenMyHero · · Score: 3, Funny

    [Mozart] Hello again, and welcome to the show. Tonight we continue to look at some famous deaths. Tonight we start with the wonderful death of Genghis Khan, conqueror of India. Take it away Genghis.

    [Cut to Genghis Khan's tent. Genghis strides about purposefully. Indian-style background music. Suddenly the music cuts out and Genghis Khan with a squawk throws himself in the air and lands on his back. This happens very suddenly. Judges hold up cards with points on, in the manner of ice skating judges.]

    [Voice Over] 9.1, 9.3, 9.7, that's 28.1 for Genghis Khan.

    [Mozart still at piano.]

    [Mozart] Bad luck Genghis. Nice to have you on the show. And now here are the scores.

    [Scoreboard with Eddie Waring figure standing by it. The scoreboard looks a little like this:]

    29.9 St Stephan
    29.3 Richard III
    29.1 Jean D'arc
    29.0 Marat
    28.2 A. Lincoln (U.S of A)
