Kim's dad wanted to name him Cartman but it seemed to western.
FIFY.He's been abducted byalienscholesterol.
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.

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.Doesn't he speak Korean?

That would solve the Dalai Lama succession problem.Was that the Luxembourg guy that was found by James Hilton?![]()
But I hope the North Koreans don't find a way of endowing the Brilliant Comrade with similar longevity.Conway guesses correctly that the High Lama is Perrault, now 300 years old.
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.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.![]()

You'd think they could find the only fat man north of the 38th?
Now, they only have to find the reincarnation of the last Lama. Piece of cake.That would solve the Dalai Lama succession problem.
It would be interesting to see him get ever more chubby over the course of 300 years.But I hope the North Koreans don't find a way of endowing the Brilliant Comrade with similar longevity.
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".
The Generals have promised Kim that he can ride a tank if he doesn't act goofy.
Where would they find one he could fit into?
Maybe the blueprints for the German "Maus" still exist. http://strangevehicles.greyfalcon.us/Pictures/mau16.jpgWhere would they find one he could fit into?
They still have the Soviet plans for the KV-4.
