Weirdest story yet about Kim Jong-il:

<< In 1978, Shin Sang-ok, South Korea’s famous director, went to Hong Kong to figure out why his ex-wife, actress Choi Eun-hee, went missing. When he arrived, North Korean agents pulled him into a car, threw a bag over his head, then shipped him to Pyongyang wrapped in plastic. (The BBC has more on this.) And so began his eight year imprisonment in North Korea, where the filmmaker had to satisfy the whims of Kim Jong-il, then a young "cinephile" who wrote On the Art of the Cinema in 1973, and The Cinema and Directing in 1987 (read the free PDF here). Shin shot eight films during his "NK period," the best-known being Pulgasari, a 1985 Godzilla-style movie that played to the tastes of the little dictator. Part 1 appears above, and the remaining parts here: 2, 3, 4 and 5. >>

Second weirdest story:

Rick Perry thinks he was Kim Jong the Second. I attribute Perry's confusion to the unfortunate fact (it's really more of an evil than a fact) that a capital "I" in many fonts looks exactly like a lower case "l."
