Well maybe not, but what DID he do? Kim Jong-il (and his official media) claimed several off-the-wall [achievements:](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kim_jong_il#Personality) > [@](#): > > Also an apparent golfer, North Korean state media reports that Kim routinely shot three or four holes-in-one per round.[111] His official biography also claims that Kim composed six operas and enjoys staging elaborate musicals.[112] Kim referred to himself as an Internet expert.[113] I haven’t heard, nor have I been able to find, any kind of similar fantastic claims made by/of Kim Jong-un. Will these develop slowly, and be woven into the myth of the Supreme Leader as a matter of course, or were the fantastic stories of Kim Jong-il a symptom of his own narcissism? I wasn’t sure if this was GQ material or not… ---

Of course he didn’t invent pudding, everyone knows Bill Cosby did. Duh. ---

Sure, he gets a few holes in one every round, but he is teeing off from the ladies tee. Just sayin. ---

Quote: North Korean state media reports that Kim routinely shot three or four holes-in-one per round. Shouldn’t that be “Kim routinely has three or four holes-in-one taken out and shot per round?” ---

According to North Korean sources, Kim Jong-il learned to walk when he was only three weeks old and learned to talk when he was only eight weeks old. During his college years, he wrote 1500 books. Kim Jong-il invented the hamburger. He collected dolphins. And three or four holes-in-one? You are clearly a capitalist running dog for spreading such lies. The truth is the Dear Leader shot eleven holes-in-one in 1994. In the first and only round of golf he ever played. Kim Jong-il could change the weather - with his mind. ---

I first read the thread title as “Kim Jong un-invented pudding.” I take it that he has not, in fact, uninvented pudding. I guess I’ll have to do it, then. Hey, everyone who knows how to make pudding, kindly forget how. Thank you. ---
