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."

    By appeasing them, these 'sons' of Genghis Khan won't burn down the place and cart off the waitresses when they are done.

    Actually, it's a great gimmick, and with the test costing about $330 dollars, I am certain that they don't lose a dime, in fact they probably make more money per customer, and whichever lab is doing the testing is getting free publicity for the real 'meat' of the DNA testing business; paternity testing.
