So, Steve Jobs eh? RIP
Relationship between Tsubodai and Jochi. Test by Genghis. I'll leave it at that.Macbeth wrote:

I was talking about the issue of Jochi's paternity. Whether Jochi was even really the child of Genghis is very debatable.FEOS wrote:

Central issue of the book, and why Tsubodai and Jochi were so close. Tsubodai essentially raised Jochi because Genghis treated him as if he were illegitimate. Tsubodai treated him as if he were the Khan's son.Macbeth wrote:

There is no evidence they were ever close but it is fiction of course. Jochi and his whole line were passed over for succession and Genghis could have only tolerated him because of Borte.
How does the series handle Genghis's death?

Just a thought. I think one of the best things about Steve Jobs' death is that it has completely and utterly overshadowed Sarah Palin's "Surprise! I'm not running for President!" announcement. Too bad media whore, maybe next time.

The dynamic between Jochi and Genghis' next-eldest son (Chagatai)--which results in him choosing a younger son (Ogadai) as heir--is a central point, as well.
He dies falling off his horse, just like history says...but there's a twist. Again, would be a huge spoiler.

It's one of a few theories as to how he died. A bunch of sources list things from old age to battle deaths to being assassinated. No one is close to sure which to believe.
And the author picked one of the more popular historical theories and went with it. It's not like he invented something new.Macbeth wrote:

But the bill is fucking retarded, China damages its own economy by pegging their currency to the USD.
More like damaging their own workforce.Cybargs wrote:

It essentially causes massive trade inequities with all of their trading partners, not just the US. For us, it comes out to roughly a quarter of a trillion dollars a year in their favor.

fuckingSeveral Christian parishes in the Indian state of Kerala have begun offering incentives to couples who produce more children, officials say.
One church of the Syro-Malabar denomination in Kerala's Wayanad district has offered 10,000 rupees ($200) for a couple's fifth child.
The move comes after a report submitted to Kerala's chief minister proposed imposing a strict two-child policy.
But church groups have aired concerns about dwindling numbers of Christians.
