Sure, he killed millions, but there was nothing he liked more than a good Camel...


I had a go at doing a collage for my post today (Not sure why, there is no "Why" on my blog, only a "Do-eet"). - I only have MS Paint on this PC..


Now, I realize that doing a collage like this is a bit "head-up-your-own-bum" of me, but then the whole blogging thing is to be honest - and I thought I'd leave it up here on my blog and then look at it again in 3 days and see what I think (With a fresh pair of eyes). I wonder what I will think?


I tried convincing someone that Ghengis Khan was buried by Camels today (All his men were killed so they couldn't go back and raid his tomb). I only vaguely remember this anecdote though and I am sure I got some of the details wrong but my friend has been lenient and didn't Google me into oblivion over it...


..Basically the story goes that he had his men train some Camels to walk to the site of his tomb and then go inside and lie down. Then Ghengis had all the trainers killed, and then his dead body was strapped to the Camels and they walked there way to the tomb on their own (So no one would know where it was) A good plan because Camels cannot be tortured or bribed - They would just probably have an accident on the torture-room floor and then try to bite the guy with the hot poker - and torturers don't like cleaning up camel Poo I am sure.
