Tom Robinson, 48, has become the first man outside Asia to trace his ancestry directly to Genghis Khan...

I thought I read somewhere that a huge percentage of people could trace their lineage to Khan. Maybe I'm making that up? (Or maybe my source was?)

No, I think that's right, pupps, because the Khan he was getting busy, know what I mean? Know what I mean? Nod-nod-wink-wink.

But I think this guy is the first in North America or something. Anyway, it seems ripe for parody, along Conan-the-Librarian lines, and he seems to agree himself (at least I hope so!) as evidenced by his quote.
