Mongolian Myths: What were they thinking?
Our movie (which we are actually making in Flash and will be completed within the next few days) tackles four Mongolian myths (one of which we found on our own). The myths are: they bathe in their own urine, drink horse blood, *they believe that giant death worms inhabit the Gobi Desert, and that all of the women had mustaches. There is no real plot to the story, it is pretty much 30-50 second scenes explaining each myth--in a comical way. The picture to the right of this description is the location of one of these scenes; can you guess which one? Only time will tell.

One man stands out above all the others as the strongest, Genghis Khan, played by Danny DeVito. Though he is Megan Fox's brother, he cannot resist her (its a step up from bestiality). One day during his daily pillage, he decides to take advantage of her while she is bathing. Just as he confronts her, Russel Crowe emerges from the woods (shirtless according to the request of one of our directors) and strikes him down. Underestimating Russel as a lowly chinaman, Genghis Khan challenges him to a fight. The two grapple until Russel pulls out a dagger and stabs him. He then turns to Megan Fox, who falls into his arms in gratitude. The two consummate their love and bring peace China and Mongolia.
