Top 10 Crazy Facts About Kim Jong Il
Shin Sang-ok, a South Korean filmmaker, was kidnapped by Kim Jong Il, sent to prison, and eventually forced to make a film called Pulgasari that was basically a communist propaganda version of Godzilla. After Shin and his wife managed to escape North Korea while location scouting in Austria, Kim Jong Il shelved Pulgasari and all of Shin’s other work. Kim Jong Il has since given specific instruction to his Ministry of Culture and his communist filmmakers: “Make more cartoons.”
In 1994, it was reported by Pyongyang media outlets that Kim Jong Il shot 38 under par on a regulation 18-hole golf course – including 5 holes in one! That score is 25 shots better than the best round in history, and is made even more amazing by the fact that it was his first time playing the sport. It’s said Kim Jong Il would routinely sink 3 or 4 holes in one per round of golf, and – lucky for the PGA – he has since given it up.
According to a book written by one of Kim Jong Il’s ex-staff members, he was once injured by falling off his horse when it slipped on loose rocks. He was afraid of becoming addicted to the painkillers that his doctors prescribed him, so he had members of his administrative staff injected daily with the same dosages he had to take. He did this so he wouldn’t be the only one hooked on the drug.

Definitely not the first time.
I wonder if this has anything to do with the current threats....
North Korea said that it is looking to engage in a dialogue on nuclear arm control, as the country took over the presidency of the 65-nation United Nations Conference on Disarmament on Tuesday.
North Korea has been at odds with the U.N. and Western powers over its disputed nuclear program for the past several years. Efforts to hold meaningful talks on its nuclear program have repeated failed.
According to a statement released by the U.N., So Se Pyong, North Korea’s ambassador, is “very much committed to the Conference and during his presidency he welcomed any sort of constructive proposals that strengthened the work and credibility of the body.” www.theepochtimes.com...
Kyodo reporting from Vladivostok says #DPRK calls off Kim Jong Il summit there with Russian Pres. Medvedev due to health concerns.
Tensions on the Korean pensinsula were at their most dangerous level since the 1950-53 war today when North Korea threatened to use nuclear weapons in a "holy war" against its neighbour after South Korean tanks, jets and artillery carried out one of the largest live-fire drills in history close to the border.
