This is an incredible image of a man of personal significance to me. He's actually responsible for me being born (through no intent of his own, but still). When my parents first met, it was over a game of Trivial Pursuits. My father, a Professor, got a question about Genghis Khan. I do not know what that question was, but apparently there was a matter of error over his birth name - my father got it wrong. However, among his circle, it was assumed that he was "never wrong." My mother, knowing better, found an encyclopedia on a shelf, opened it to a page, pointed to a paragraph, and showed it to my father, showing the correct answer was "Temujin" (spelled in that book "Temuchin"). According to my father, he decided then and there he would marry the woman. According to my mother, shortly after making that decision he learned her name.



This great man, from beyond the grave, brought my mother and father together. I'm not sure he actually cared, but his influence was still there nonetheless. It is a truly powerful image of the man, and I very much love it.
