Gore's gonna be pissed.

He also whupped Spartucus's ass, discovered (and afflicted the world with) polio, and hit Mae West in the pooper.

i will withold comment until chuck norris is consulted.

...and the plague.

Want a Twinkie, Genghis Khan?

....and lost the 200 election

Genghis Khan was awesome.

/No, really.

2000!

Yeah, but Robin Hood beat the snot out of him.

/awful series

That, and Qin Shi Huang was a swell guy.

No doubt this thread is gonna be filled with more of Genghis Khan's incredible feats.

but can he beat Chuck Norris?

And some great BBQ!

hoo hoo robyn i invented everything.

I'm sorry China, but Al Gore invented the internets

You got...

Genghis Khan sure went crazy in that sporting goods store with the bat. It's no wonder him, Lincoln, Beethoven, and Billy the kid went to jail. Well, at least the Wild Stallions still got A's.

He also invented GNU/Emacs.

/RMS is a thief!

So, Ghengis Khan and Al Gore are the same person?

\You'd think after all of these years, he would have a personality by now!

In all fairness he never claimed to have "invented" the Internet. He said he "took the initiative in creating the Internet."

Thank you, Slim!

You forgot Attila the Hun.

And he was quite the snappy dancer too.

/Dsching.....Dsching.....Dschinghis Khaaaaan!

Or if you like:

In all fairness he never claimed to have "invented" the Renaissance. He said he "took the initiative in creating the Renaissance."

You farking-a the Khan did!

I prefer Ghengiz Cohen , purveyor of wholesale slaughter.

Temujin was an exceptional man who created the largest empire in recorded history, with that being said, these assertion are baseless and shockingly ignorant coming from a scholar, he might as well declare that Temujin invented the question mark.

But did he kill Manbearpig?

It seems to me that with this supposed map that shows that the chicoms discovered America, and this, it would appear that the chinese are trying to take their place in history using propaganda, just applied to a world wide level.

I didn't know they had internet tubes in Ancient Mongolia.

As a person that lives in China, I'm really getting a kick out of these comments.

/I really, really, really DO live in China.
//Beijing (city), Panjiayuan (neighborhood) to be exact.
///China DID invent hot Chinese Babes. Gotta give credit where credit is due.

Slim Pickens: KHAN!!!

Damn .. I was guessing within 10 posts.. I was close at 18 :)

/ i sray BULLSHRIT !!!

Genghis Khan was a 10 foot monster who slept with all our wives! And punched us all in the face! And we loved him for it! He had dandruff the size of mice! The character of Johnny Appleseed was based on Genghis Khan - except for the apple tree planting and not raping men.

/To Genghis Khan!

In Al Gore's new book he lays claim to inventing the Cock-Punch, Dutch Rudder and Gravity!

"He brought cultural progress that helped liberate the Europeans from the bondage of theology -- in this sense, his expeditions served as a catalyst for the Renaissance"

cool, maybe China will do it for the US this time.

'And some Chinese academics say China "discovered" America decades before Christopher Columbus.'

and left because no market for their low cost imports at the time

Although, since 10% of the men in the area of the former Mongol Empire have Y-chromosome markers from Temujin or his brothers, at least one kind of tube was working well.

And Al Gore helped!


/obscure?

skubwa

Well it is important that Genghis Khan be recognized for his actual contributions. Even Vint Cerf acknowledge his role in funding the Renaissance.

Don't you mean Bob "Genghis" Khan?
