Kim Jong Un

When the Fifth Dalai Lama died in 1682, his chief minister kept the fact secret for fifteen years. Said his boss was meditating, which was plausible ... for a while. When the Chinese found out they had been bamboozled they went bananas, but by that time a new DL had been appointed without Chinese interference.

Was that the Luxembourg guy that was found by James Hilton? :boxedin:

Doesn't he speak Korean?

:)
As it would happen, Kim Il-sung's Korean was quite poor when Stalin decided that he would be the guy to head their new sattelite state, to the point of needing considerable coaching to deliver speeches. Apparently, he'd received all his education in Chinese, and his family background is obscure. He was kind of just some guy with a few groupies who'd once kicked a few Japanese occupiers out of a tiny village and then made a completely unremarkable career as a Red Army major.

He was someone the Soviets thought would be pliable. In fact, he wasn't.
 
I'll speculate that Dennis Rodman was either a symptom or cause of a bad drug habit, and Supreme Leader is lolling on a dirty mattress somewhere with a needle still stuck in his arm. Maybe Rodman was a CIA long game. :rolleyes:

That would solve the Dalai Lama succession problem.
Conway guesses correctly that the High Lama is Perrault, now 300 years old.
But I hope the North Koreans don't find a way of endowing the Brilliant Comrade with similar longevity.

I wonder if something as mundane as his height could've been a factor. I noticed that in pictures of him next to Mao (who, notably for a Han Chinese born in the late 19th century, stood a full six feet in his prime) they appear to be about equally tall.

Brilliant! :roll:
 
He found out that the National Security Council staffers call him "Lunch Box". Ever since then he's been locked in his bedroom eating popcorn and M&Ms, drinking Sutter Home wine out of the bottle and watching old episodes of "The Golden Girls".

Watching the Golden Girls would be excruciating but who knows how Kim swings. (Old lady porn?)

With any luck, he's a Type II diabetic and, with infinite supply of the best stuff, ate a 2 lb. M&M bag and shot up 200 units of insulin and put himself into a coma. Quick thinking by a relative kept him there.
