| New Stamps for Nkors |
| 2003-04-25 |
| O.T. Pyongyang, April 24 (KCNA) -- The Korea Stamp Corporation has issued four kinds of new stamps on Sunday. The stamps portray four insects - pantalaf flavescens, tibicen japonicus, xylotrupes dichotomus and lycaena dispar. Mmmmmm. Dinner. It's a little cruel to tease these hungry people by putting pictures of the NKor equivalent to Prime Rib in front of them. Pantala flavescens eats flies and mosquitoes and tibicen japonicus lives on the sap of needle-leaf trees in alpine regions. Xylotrupes dichotomus lives on the sap of trees and juice of fruits, while lycaena dispar lives on leaves, sprouts and flowers. Insects, the most populous animals in the world, can be seen in any part of the earth. studying insects and propagating knowledge of them is important in protecting cereals, domestic animals and forest — resources from them. I love the KCNA |

| #2 The amazing thing? None are named after Kim Jong Il, who, as we all know, invented bugs (aka North Korean takeout). |

| #1 NKor is a crack-up. Stranger than fiction. Nobody could make this stuff up! |
