No one ever mentions Mngke Khan! Apparently, invading India and Korea and conquering South China, Vietnam, Tibet and the whole Middle East is not good enough for you guys! smile

BTW, Attila was a Hun, not a Mongol, and therefore not a Khan. Khan (Noonien Singh) was also not a Khan, even though his name was (will be?) Khan. Former FC Bayern and German National Team goalkeeper Oliver Kahn was not a Khan, either - but probably one of his distant ancestors was a Khan (hence the name) - but a "Titan" (which is his unofficial, and unfortunately self-appointed, nickname). dizzy

Also, why did Khan (Noonien Singh) look like Ricardo Montalban for most of his life, only to suddenly bear an uncanny resemblance to Benedict Cumberbatch?

Another fun fact: did you know that Genghis Khan looked a lot like John Wayne?

Matt Wagner, please clarify!

Khan Singh left Earth almost 10 years ago, during the hype of the Clinton/Dole presidential race. We didn't notice.

As for why he looks like a tall pale Brit instead of Indian, the answer to that lies in Star Wars, not Star Trek.
*waves hand*
Cumberbatch looks Indian. You can go about your business. Move along.


Matt Wagner has been tested for and found not to be strong in the Force.

I know there's a dance called the Khan-Khan. It's performed in Paris and is Matt Wagner's favorite dance. Especially if he's allowed to dance along.


There is a theory which states that if ever anyone discovers exactly what the universe is for it will instantly disappear and be replaced by something even more inexplicable.
There is another theory which states that this has already happened.

The least valuable is the Tin Khan. It can be used for communication with string.

Bob the Mongol was asked if they could build an empire.

His response? "Yes we khan!"

And why were German soldiers during WWI referred to as "Huns"? Germans are not descendants of the Hunnic Empire.

Obviously it was meant to be ironic, like rain on your wedding day.

Because Emperor Billy, the second of his name, decided it was an incredibly smart idea to tell the following to German troops ready to be shipped to China to help quell the Boxer rebellion:

"Just as a thousand years ago the Huns under their King Attila made a name for themselves, one that even today makes them seem mighty in history and legend, may the name German be affirmed by you in such a way in China that no Chinese will ever again dare to look cross-eyed at a German"

Just ask Matt Wagner if you don't believe me. smile

I was at the grocery store.

Look how big those shrimps are!

$29.99 per lb and it's maybe 2 shrimp per lb - even more expensive than live Maine lobster that sells for $13 per lb.

I don't know if I would want to eat anything that came off the water of Nigeria.



Found this article on them:

Be careful with those jumbo shrimp from Nigeria. They will try and scam you.

Actually- that's not irony.

Irony is rain on your wedding day IF your husband/wife works as a meteorologist.

Bah Germans aren't Huns. Everyone who read Asterix knows they are Goths.

And they speak in Black Letter.

This historic stereotype is endorsed by Matt Wagner*
