Bears, magpies mourn North Korea's "Dear Leader": state media


Odd story this – every bear I have spoken to is quite uninterested in the passing of North Korea’s “Dear Leader” – of course I was speaking to Canadian bears:

SEOUL—The passing of North Korean strongman Kim Jong-il has been marked by plunging temperatures, mourning bears and now, according to North Korean state media, by flocks of magpies.

The leader, who died in December at 69 after 17 years running the world’s most reclusive state, was reputed to be able to control the weather, as well as to have scored a miraculous 38 under par round of golf.
