Cartoonist to unveil painting at U.N. ceremony [url]http://www.greenwichtime.com/news/local/scn-gt-lure2oct24,0,827885.story?coll=green-news-local-headlines[/url]

If I read this right, this article states that Karl Marx is a blood relative of King David ?

Myriads of Jews claim to descend from King David. Like Genghis Khan (17 million people!) or Mohammed, Eastern rulers tend to spawn huge numbers of descendants.

Yes, but is this connection between King David and Karl Marx documented ? This is the first Ive heard of it.
