26. The population of North Korea

is so starved, when the defector that was shot coming across the DMZ, the doctors were shocked at how malnourished and stunted he was. And he was from an elite military unit that would have been fed better than the general army rank and file.


Someone suggested (jokingly) that the way to stop a North Korean invasion, is to throw open all the fast food joints along the DMZ, offering free meals to North Korean soldiers.

At the Seoul Winter Olympics, there were reports of North Korean athletes camping out at the McDonald's in the Olympic Village and almost missing their events.
