5. I always think of Mongolians
in A the context they were in south park, or Genghis himself in that Bill and Ted movie, you know they actually have Mongolian lunches in the Congressional Cafeteria and the food ain't bad. I never played Risk, I jsut dont think of the Mongolians of being a great empire, it would be like uhhh lets say Belgium having a huge one.

14. Well a lot of fuckers are fascinating
Nixon was probably the biggest fucker to ever live in the white house but I think he's also very fascinating and more complex than meets the eye.

And they were fucking ruthless motherfuckers too, if "King Leopold's Ghost" is any indication.
