1 man + 1 woman = 1,4000 babies

How many people take "Be fruitful and multiply" seriously these days?  Not many.  Several European countries are literally dying off, as is China; and as I recall, the Japanese government is paying families to have children.

On the other hand, you have the Krishevsky family.  Mrs. Krishevsky passed away recently at the age of 99, leaving approximately 1,400 descendants to continue an amazing legacy.  Y'all can read the complete article here, on Ynetnews.com, but this is the synopsis: Mr. Krishevsky and Mrs. Krishevsky had eleven children.  Those original eleven children produced 150 of their own . . . and those 150 had no less than 1,000.  Thus far, there have also been a few hundred great-great-grandchildren.

And Mrs. Krishevksy knew all of them.  Wow.  How refreshing!
