Probably closely related to these folks too:

Diggers May Have Found Genghis Khan's Tomb

[thoughtomator]

I've heard that the Jewish name "Cohen" comes from "Khan" as well.

[widowithfoursons]

Is this a taxpayer funded study? (Oops, stupid question). Kahn made sure his burial site would never be found.

[ZULU]

Ahhh Genghis. Where are you now that we really need you (in Iraq)?

[martin_fierro]

Genghis Khan left a legacy shared by 16 million people alive today, according to a book by a Oxford geneticist who identified the Mongol emperor as the most successful alpha male in human history.

All that inbreeding doubtless led to some Mongoloids.

"I've heard that the Jewish name "Cohen" comes from "Khan" as well."

I've read that it may relate to 'Han' too.

It's true!

It means, "He Who Can Get Armor At The Friendly Price."

That's a pretty offensive remark.

Feh.

No. "Cohen" is Hebrew for "priest." Those who bear the name "Cohen" are likely descended from Abraham, Isaac and Jacob... and Levi, not from Genghis Kahn.

If you used an ethnic slur as part of some joke, people would come down on you, you know.

*** Now I've never heard rape being called 'inseminating' before... that's pretty new to me!

[TheCrusader]

I wonder if James Cahn is related to Ghengis and Kubli? And what about Shaka Kahn? :o)

[ßuddaßudd]

Not really. But it is hard to be offended while giggling.

[JenB]

Then I suppose you've never had that particular remark directed at someone you love. I don't care if it is a pun, it's a very insensitive word. If he'd made some sort of a pun featuring, oh, "Jap", would that be funny, too?

More like ol' "Jenjis" (as John Kerry calls him) produced a lot of mongrels in seeding the gene pool from east to west...
