Military Intelligence

[Adrian II]

Since this is a Korea trivia thread, I have three things to contribute:

1. In 2002 the DPRK claimed to be the first in the world able to clone rabbits. I am not surprised. From an economic point of view, rabbits are the most useless animals to clone. If anything there are too many of them already. But then the DPRK itself is useless. And the DPRK itself is, in fact, one DPRK too many.

2. The DPRK has a Committee for Solidarity with the World People. They either help us, you see, or they make sure we know they are there for us should we need them.

3. The name. How on earth did they come up with that in 1948? I suppose Kim wanted to call it 'Me-state of Korea'. The Russians then advised him that 'Republic' would cut a better figure among folks liable to fall for the trick. Since that applied only to semi-literates, Kim insisted to add the term 'People's'. The Russians then told him that two wrongs don't make a right, whereas three wrongs do! Hence it became 'Democratic People's Republic of Korea'.
