style="COLOR: black; FONT-SIZE: 13.5pt">A little known fact is
the origin of the word "aviator".<BR><BR>Phu Khen (pronounced
Foo Ken ), 1169-? is considered by some to be the most
under-recognized military officer in history. Many have never
heard of his contributions to modern military warfare. The
mission of this secret society is to bring honor to the name
of Phu Khen.<BR><BR>A Khen was a subordinate to a Khan in the
military structure of the Mongol hordes. Khan is Turkish for
leader. Most know of the great Genghis Khan, but little has
been written of his chain of command.<BR><BR>Khen is also of
Turkish origin, although there is not a word in English that
adequately conveys the meaning. Roughly translated, it means "
One who will do the impossible while appearing unprepared and
complaining constantly." Phu Khen was one of ten Khens
that headed the divisions, or groups of hordes as they were
known, of the Mongal Army serving under Genghis Khan. His
abilities came to light during the Mongols' raids on the
Turkistan city of Bohicaroo. <BR>Bohicans were fierce warriors
and the city was well fortified. The entire city was protected
by huge walls and the hordes were at a standoff with the
Bohicans. Bohicaroo was well stocked and it would have been
difficult to wait them out. Genghis Khan assembled his Khens
and ordered each of them to develop a plan for penetrating the
defenses of Bohicaroo. <BR><BR>Operation Achieve Victory,
"AV", was born. All 10 divisions of Khens submitted their
plan. After reviewing AV plans 1 through 7 and finding them
unworkable or ridiculous, Genghis Khan was understandably
upset.<BR><BR>It was with much perspiration that Phu Khen
submitted his idea, which came to be known as AV 8. Upon
seeing AV 8, Genghis was convinced this was the perfect plan
and gave immediate approval. The plan was beautifully simple.
Phu Khen would arm his hordes to the teeth, load them into
catapults and hurl them over the wall. The losses were
expected to be high, but hey, hordes were cheap. Those that
survived the flight would engage the enemy in combat. Those
that did not? Well, surely their flailing bodies would cause
some damage. The plan worked and the Bohicans were defeated.
From that day on, whenever the Mongol Army encountered an
insurmountable enemy, Genghis Khan would give the order "Send
some of the Phu Khen AV 8ers."<BR><BR>This is believed, though
not by anyone outside our secret society, to be the true
origin of the word Aviator.<BR>Phu Khen's AV8ers were
understandably an unruly mob, not likely to be sociably
acceptable. Many were heavy drinkers and insomniacs. However,
when nothing else would do, you could always count on an
AV8er. A Phu Khen Aviator. Denied, perhaps rightfully so, his
place in history, Phu Khen has been, nonetheless, immortalized
in prose.<BR><BR>You hear mystical references, often hushed
whispers, of "those Phu Khen Aviators." Do not let these
things bother you. As with any secret society, we go largely
misunderstood, prohibited by our apathy from explaining
ourselves.<BR><BR>You are expected to always live down to the
reputation of the Phu Khen Aviator, a reputation cultivated
for centuries, undaunted by scorn or ridicule, unhindered by
progress. So drink up, be crude, sleep late, urinate in public
and get the job done.<BR><BR>When others are offended, you can
revel in the knowledge that YOU are a PHU KHEN AVIATOR.
