Hike N. Korea it rocks??

North Korean leader Kim Jong-Un has scaled the country's highest mountain, arriving at the summit to tell troops that the hike provides mental energy more powerful than nuclear weapons

I will admit the Mother Lode gave me a pretty good rush, but I don't know if it provided more energy than a nuclear weapon

He was still walking with two canes not long ago. It's hard to imagine him climbing anything higher than a lemon meringue pie.

He had some sherpas carry him to the top. Everyone knows not to say anything so he ends up with all of the credit.

Well he has to live up to some pretty impressive feats by his father, Kim Jung Il, including:

Bowling a perfect 300
Setting a golf record with 38-under par, including 11 holes-in-one (in one round)
Writing no less than 1500 books during his 3 years at university
Composing six operas
Inventing a breakthrough food called "double bread with meat" (strongly resembles an American hamburger)

and of course the astonishing feat of never using a toilet ... because he didn't defecate.

What's a little nuclear power peak climb in the face of all that?

I'm still getting a kick out of the photos. The second one gives some perspective on the location. It's quite a contrast to the first. Someone inclined to give him the benefit of the doubt might say that he took off his hat and gloves for the photo. That could be true, since he was probably wearing them in the helicopter (or sedan chair, as the case may be). Or else all those guys took turns giving piggy-back rides. They would be short turns.

Some more photos were just shown on TV. He was wearing black dress shoes.
