The famously reliable North Korean state media are working overtime to provide “accurate” coverage of the transfer of power to 26-year-old Kim Jong-Un.  So far, they’ve informed people that Un could drive at age 3 and drive with laser-like precision at 85 mph by age 8, and that he was so engrossed in studying military strategy at 16 that he only slept 3 hours a night and skipped meals.  They say he is a “genius of geniuses” in military affairs, even though he has no military experience. 

- Okay… they had me right up until the “skipped meals” part.  

- Big whoop.  All kids can drive at age three.  It’s called a “Big Wheel”. 

- He could actually drive a tank 85 mph at age 8.  It had training wheels on it, but it was still a tank!
