And perhaps we all possess an atom or two from someone who lived before (or is living now). I could have some of Genghis Khan in me - a friend once told me I did!

 

There's a common belief that a large percentage of people from the Eurasian continent have a percentage of DNA attributable to the great Khan. Urban legend? I do not find it at snopes.com
See this:

 

Genetically aren't we supposed to have derived from 7 tribes? And things like the pentadactyl limb shows a lot about common ancestry. But also I am thinking of what we absorbed into our bodies as we grew and even what we absorb now - we must have breathed in bits of other living and deceased organisms many times and ingested within our food stuffs similarly. So we probably all have a bit of Genghis, Mother Teresa, Queen Elizabeth II (I always thought there was something a bit Royal about me ), and Mr Rye!

 

We live in Lunga, Valencia. About ten days ago our water simply stopped flowing. The stoppage lasted a couple of days. We assumed it was just another, occasional, breakage of a line someplace up stream. I ran into a barangay official and asked what the problem was. He said, the water source had run dry and might remain so until the rains resumed. But, surprise, surprise, the next day the water began to flow again and has continued to do so. No problems with odor or discoloration.

 

Raining in Valencia now?

 

NO! Hasn't rained here for several days, lawn is turning brown.

 

The water came back, where that came from?
