Those of you who had murderous North Korean tyrant Kim Jong Un as "dead" in your on-line betting are losers today. The portly Kim reappeared after weeks of seclusion to open a fertilizer plant (insert your fertilizer jokes here). Speculation about Kim had grown after he missed the major national celebration on April 15 of his grandfather's birthday, North Korea's founder Kim Il Sung, something he's never missed before. Some believed that he was suffering from life-threatening cardiovascular problems, and that he'd had a setback after heart surgery.
Apparently, Kim was only incommunicado -- that kidder -- and laying low until his big moment for the fertilizer plant opening. Psyche!
