Kim Jong Il,
the jumpsuit and platform shoe-wearing tyrant died of a heart attack while on a
train trip according to state television—that’s the apparatchik to you and me.
Reportedly a
diabetic, the little man with a towering ego, amassed a wine cellar with more
than 10,000 bottles and greedily scoffed down prodigious amounts of lobster and
expensive cognac.
Lobster ranks
as one of the most decadent items on a menu and is also known to be high in
cholesterol. What condiment usually accompanies
lobster? Butter. Butter is also high in cholesterol, with about 35 mg of
cholesterol per tablespoon. One in four
people with diabetes will suffer a heart attack or
stroke.
If you drink cognac
regularly (around 15 ml a day), it is said to protect you against heart
disease. Perhaps after
suffering a stroke in 2008, Il who is now no longer ill, thought his
excessive consumption of the stuff would allay another stroke. Looks like his plan was flawed.
On a serious
note, South Koreans are
naturally extremely nervous since, despite there being 26,500 US troops in the country;
North Korea has thousands of artillery rockets aimed at Seoul which is only 70
miles from the internal border. North Korea is also nuclear armed, the main
reason why everyone treats this nightmare of a state so gingerly. The Japanese
government will be monitoring the situation closely. Indeed they will.
