My Boys Can Swim!


That is the phrase uttered, no crowed, by many men when they hear their partner is pregnant.

A week ago, you may have heard the story of a man from medieval Ireland who is thought to have genetic ties to over three million descendents.

Impressive.

Until you hear about Genghis Khan.

I'll give you a minute to clear the image of William Shatner growling that name into deep space before I give you the numbers.

Ready?

Genghis Khan's boys swam so well that there are now 16 million people on this planet that can claim him as a descendent.

Now, that's something to crow about!
