Kim Jong-il could cook a three-minute egg in 60 seconds. ---

How does one collect dolphins? Like, live dolphins? Did he go out to sea and catch them, or did he order them from some sort of catalog? I don’t think they sell dolphins on Amazon. If he did have his own pod of live dolphins, they must have put on one heckuva show, since I assume he was a master dolphin trainer. ---

Kim Jong-il once kicked Chuck Norris’ ass while at the same time inventing super glue. ---

Sticks Ate, I have a Wikipedia account in good standing that can totally do this - the Kim Jong Il article at the moment is semi protected so not just any yahoo can do it. Are you serious about this? For ten dollars it’s not worth it to me personally but if you’ll give it to a US charidee of my choice I’ll certainly make the edit. ---

While of course KCNA may well end up humerously implausible stories about this guy’s mastery of everything, I do cross my fingers that in some senses North Korea is actually about the most progressive country in the world right now (speaking about first and/or second derviatives of freedom and ideas with respect to time rather than where it actually is) and many signs show that he’s trying to purge all the evil buggers… you ever know he may turn out to be exactly what the DPRK is after, at least so long as you are not an [artillery target](http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/worldnews/asia/northkorea/9630509/North-Korean-army-minister-executed-with-mortar-round.html). Let’s cross our fingers and see how this pans out, I say. ---

Everyone knows that [Lord Pudi](http://media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m8z42woVf21qh7qkn.jpg) invented pudding. Unless Kim Jong-un has already ascended to the state of being where he is Lord Pudi. In which case, [pudding for all!](http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m0doprO6Cb1r6wueqo2_1280.png). ---

I don’t know the specifics. I just read an article about Kim and they were talking about the things he collected: cars, movies, French wine, Elvis memorabilia, Daffy Duck memorabilia, poodles, dolphins. With most people, I’d assume they keep their dolphins in pools. But with the Dear Leader, who knows? Maybe he dressed the dolphins up like Elvis and the poodles up like Daffy and had them race each other in the cars. ---

Instead of pudding, I wish he would have un-invented yogurt, which I never enjoy. ☹ ---
