What is REALLY best in life?

[Kanegrundar]

Always the lamentation of the women!

I suspect that the attribution of this quote to Ghengis Khan is apocryphal. I couldn't find any info one way or the other with a quick scan of the internet, other than a lot of random people saying "Ghengis Khan said it first" without any correlating evidence.

I had the same thought when it came up.

And if Ghengis did say it, he didn't say it in english, so it's "great line" cred would belong to the person who translated whatever G said into that exact phrasing. So let it go, guys.

I voted D. I perfer a nice nap to any of them.

It is best to their horses and ride off on their women.

I've seen Ghengis version in print, and it is much longer and less pithy.

Essentially the Conan version strips it down; it's more of an "inspired by" than a direct rip off.

I said "other," since there comes a time when the jewels cease to sparkle, and the gold loses its luster.

Is it just me or does anyone else think this is the best reply so far - bigups to geekness!

and yes the Chingis Khan version isn't quite as kewl as Conans or Cohens

oh and personally I go for lamentations of the women - as long as their crying out MY NAME baby!

Hot water, good dentishtry and shoft lavatory paper.

It is best to their horses and ride off on their women.

No, wait. It's their houses, set fire to their horses, and ride off on their women. ...or was it their horses, set fire to their women, and ride off on their houses? Uhm.

If the women are pretty, it's fun to watch them cry.
