The golfing community will never be the same... R.I.P. "Dear Father" :eek:

ABC News said:
An avid golfer, Kim reportedly picked up a golf club in 1994 and shot a 38-under par on a regulation 18-hole golf course -- including no fewer than 11 holes in one. This would have put the increasingly frail Kim head and shoulders above the world's best, if the state media reports about Kim's game were to be believed.

I swear - it's scary how many of these regimes are still out there and in possession of some very frightening weapons - with the US #1 on their target list.

Hey!!! . . . I'm the resident bad pun (and joke) person for this forum.

Though, I have to admit that was a good one. ;)

It's true that they have a very large army, but have you seen their airforce. Apart from a couple of squadrons defending the city their aircraft belong in a museum, including MIG 15s and Mig 17s.

I for one have thought up an excellent strategy to defend South Korea from their northern cousins.

Set up a series of defensive rings set in a series of mile apart stages from the border. The north is basically starved, so these defences will consist of very long buffet tables. Even if they make it past the entree swiftly, another mile and there will be another feast to overcome.

This will slow their advance, and if you add beer and saki to the mix should halt any invasion in its tracks.

You have competition for the title. Better work on some new material.

That's a great way to get students to do things for you too.

Sadly he was no better than his faster and the regime will continue under his son.

Now that Kim Jong is gone, the world can celebrate, temporarily. I doubt his son will be any better than him

Celebrate? Not likely, because the son took over.

North Korea already claimed that the Christmas lights near the border in Seoul were "psychological warfare", and if they were any closer to North Korea there would be consequences. That's horrible.
