#2 
In 2004, the North Korean leader claimed to have invented the hamburger, which would make the invisible cell phone his latest invention, ABC quipped.


The Korean hamburgers are invisible, too.

#3 I recall their 1966 quarter final match against Portugal, one of the favourites to win the World Cup that year. The Norks went 3-nil up, then Portugal went on to win 5-3.

Probably the most exciting soccer match I've ever seen (which isn't saying much as I find most soccer matches deadly dull).

#4 Coincidentally the Norks are playing Portugal tonight.

#5 Actually, I'm prepared to believe this. You may have seen the article describing the "conductor" who was directing the group's cheering. He could well be linked by wireless headset and responding to Kim's enthusiasm. Kim must get an extra thrill to watch all those costumed "Koreans" following along with him.

#7 For Americans: North Korea's 7-0 defeat in front of Portugal is equivalent to a 120 to 15 in basketball.

#8 they are prcticing at a public arena instead of a private one like other teams. So, just means that you can't pay for a private one or someone wouldn't let you threaten them into letting you use it freely.

#9 On the other hand, one hamburger is enough to feed a North Korean family for an entire month, or so it's said.

That is why I have an immense admiration for Condolezza Rice's courage in traveling to North Korea despite a name like hers.

#10 "Kim must get an extra thrill to watch all those costumed "Koreans" following along with him."

Must be the reason why the cheers are 5 seconds time delayed.

#11 "luxurious private facilities with advanced equipment" like soccer balls and grass.

#12 You know you can make soup out of grass?

Anyway, I don't know why any world leader worth his salt would want to get involved with minutia like directing a soccer team. Or securing the rights to host the Olympics.

#14 VARIOUS MIL FORUMS > IOW, KIMMIE himself is directly responsible for the World Cup loss of NOKOR's Team, but is deemed unlikely to order the formal GULAGGING = EXECUTION, ETC. OF HIMSELF???
