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.
