To ensure his soldiers had reached their quota of twenty kills in each battle they fought, Ghenghis Khan insisted they show him the right ears of their victims. And when his men started cheating by bringing him left ears too, he switched the body part and insisted they collect twenty noses per battle instead. Through careful measurement, Ghenghis Khan ensured that all his victories were precisely calculated. Thus he conquered the world. Similarly today: the best victories are measured.
All the rants and raves from a brain that has endured decades of anthropological abuse.
