A little Mongol history from Jon Stewart
Carmen brought home from the library Jon Stewart's (or his team of writers') new book Earth (the Book): A Visitor's Guide to the Human Race. On one page is a supposed birth announcement that I will quote in full, because it appeals to my sense of humor and they get the history right, mostly.
Genghis and Chaka Khan
are pleased to announce
the birth of their son
JOCHI
November 5, 1185
At the Khentti Maternity Yurt
May he be a blight on the World!
This is hilarious if you are into Mongol humor.
Carmen and I once named a dog Jochi (though later he had to change his name to Riley-ugh)

Ok, that really is hilarious. I am such a geek.
You should have seen Jochi the Dog.
