Watch Out, Genghis, NASA’s Comin’ For You

When Genghis Khan died in 1227 his pals made sure nobody would find his grave. First they killed every last Mongol who had worked on the grave. Then they killed the guys who went to the grave to kill those guys. Then they killed the guys who killed the guys who killed the guys who dug the grave.

But now NASA’s tossing a $15,000 prize to any “online cloud of explorers” who can use satellite imagery to find ol’ Genghis’ resting place.

It’s only $15,000 of your bucks they’re wasting. But we figure the sheer stupidity of the contest is worth at least a Silver, if not Golden, Fleece Award.
