It'd by kind of funny if he was just like "rut-ro no successor" and nuked the entire country. And by "kind of funny" I mean awful.

The gathering of the country's ruling elite comes at a critical time for the destitute North after a botched currency reform late last year triggered inflation and wiped out ordinary citizen's savings.

Kay Seok, a researcher with Human Rights Watch in Seoul, said North Koreans believe the government "stole" their money, and anger still runs high.

Sort of like how physicists 'believe' in electrons

The thing that scares me about NK is that it shows just how far you can push a population before they revolt. The US is a long way from fixing the problems we have here.

This is the second time in two days I've read the phrase "rock soup". I think it's a sign.

It's a bad translation, the signs say something about the country glowing for all of history.

So it does involve a nukes, but they will never leave the country.

If they nuke something, they'll be naming a few million successors until they find someone alive enough for the job.

Well, let's see...we're "done" in Iraq, Afghanistan is SNAFU as usual. Iran has not been herp-derping as much as they could be, and NK has been stepping up their game.
New front? Right on. Let's hook up with China and tag-team some yellow people. We haven't killed yellow people in close to 40 years; we need practice.

Actually, you were close.

The Great Leader will be taking a live televised dump. The mental scarring of generations of Koreans will be widespread, enabling him to tighten his grip even further and pinch out yet another great loaf of leadership! What a pucker.

The Great Leader has finally come up with a way to feed his people. He will disband his nuclear ambitions and reduce military spending..

Wait...that's silly...of course he wouldn't do THAT.

Considering how much the military loathed Jong-il inheriting the country, I wonder how they'll take another dynastic succession...

Reinforcing the belief that succession issue will be on the agenda, Kim referred to his visit last month to China as being an "important historical mission to hand over to the rising generation."

Hmmm....

SPECULATION RUNS HIGH

GAHHH!!!!

Whoa, (*wipes brow*) phew. Don't scare me like that, Reuters.

My guess: not only will he appoint his successor, but he'll also appoint himself to some eternal post akin to Kim Il Sung.
