What are some weird facts about North Korea?

 A weird fact is that it’s actually a fake country. You heard me right. Read on.

North Korea's famous “Hotel Doom”, one of the biggest hotels in the world, turned out to be a fake building for example with only 1 or 2 real floors. All the stores in the street leading up to it likewise turned out to be fake buildings with virtually nothing inside.

The settlement that’s closest to the South Korean border has already OFFICIALLY been exposed as a fake town with lights that automatically turn on and off at set times. LOOK IT UP. The mainstream admits these things. It’s only a small logical step from there that North Korea is entirely fake.

Google earth shows virtually no people in North Korea and the farmland doesn’t grow anything — its all mud pools without livestock. There’s no one there except caretakers and security people. Even the mainstream practically admits to this, but of course they only give you a slither of the full story.

Also, Kim Jong-Un is literally the same actor that plays Psy from Gangnam Style.

What is the weirdest geographical fact that you know?

 Manhattan vs. Iceland

More people (about 80,000 more) live south of 14th Street in Manhattan, New York City than in the whole country of Iceland. This part of Manhattan is roughly only 0.0001% the size of Iceland.

(This picture shows the portion of Manhattan south of 14th Street, a street which starts a bit north of the last bridge to the right of the picture, known as the Williamsburg Bridge.)

Is South America truly due south?

All of South America is east of the city of Detroit in the United States.

The real tallest mountain in the world

Most people think that Mt. Everest is the tallest mountain in the world. But that’s just in relation to sea level. If one measures mountains starting from the plain from which they arise, then Mauna Kea (the biggest volcano on the island of Hawaii) takes the cake, rising at a mighty 33,476 feet (10,203 meters) above the sea floor. That’s about 4,000 feet taller than Mt. Everest, which clocks in at 29,028 feet (8,848 meters) from sea level.

Of Dutch and Belgian exclaves and enclaves

The map below shows the mess of exclaves and enclaves that make the border between Belgium and the Netherlands very complicated indeed. This mess is so bad that the border divides businesses and even some houses, with one part officially in the Netherlands and the other side in Belgium.

A true ancient wonder

The oldest river in the world is the Finke River in Australia, which has been dated to a maximum age of 400 million years old. The below shows the river cutting through extremely old rock, which is part of the proof that the river is very ancient.

One small town indeed!

The whole town of Whittier, Alaska, population 214 people, lives inside the large building below to the right. This includes the mayor’s office, all homes, the schools, the post-office, the chapels, the courthouse, the police and fire departments, and even a tiny jail.

 Time for some anti-gravity shit.

You all know about the Hoover Dam,

Now, look at these:

The water is going upwards.

It seems like the water here is defying gravity. I have to admit, it’s a pretty cool and freaky phenomenon.

If you want, you can go there and try it out yourself.

The structure of the dam creates an upward draft that makes water seemingly defy gravity.

An aerial view of the dam shows where the strong wind would travel up the Colorado River to hit the wall.

What are some weird facts about North Korea?

 It's been a little over five year since Kim Jong-un came into power in North Korea. Here are some interesting facts about the world's most "secretive" leader.

1. His real age is a mystery

He is thought to be the world's youngest ruler, but no one has any clue to his actual birthday. It is believed that he was either born in 1983 or 1984. The US Treasury Department, in 2016, lists his birth date as January 8, 1984. He is the youngest son of the late "supreme" leader, Kim Jong-il.

2. He attended the best Swiss school using a fake name.

Kim Jong-un was enrolled at a top private school in Switzerland's capital city of Bern but proved to be poor academically. Clad in a Chicago Bulls sweatshirt and Nike shoes, he was introduced to his classmates as Pak Un from North Korea. Money was spent lavishly on his education but he was more inclined towards music and basketball, a sport that he is still passion about, than his studies. With no improvement in his grades in mathematics and science, his father moved him to a Swiss state school where he was put in a lower grade.

3. His addiction to Swiss cheese is the source of his chubbiness.

In Switzerland, Kim became fond of Swiss cheese. His consumption of Emmental has been blamed for his bulging body and lumbering walk. Large amounts of cheese are imported every year to satisfy his cravings.

4. He is a military commander with no training

When his father died in 2011, he took command of the North Korean Army. With practically no experience in the armed forces, the world is on edge as Kim has control of his nation's military.

5. He underwent surgery to resemble his grandfather.

For some, plastic surgery is a means of improving their looks, but Kim Jong-un's goal was to look like his grandfather, Kim Il-sung.

6. He ordered North Koreans to style their hair like his, but he's afraid of barbers

In North Korea, there are strict rules regarding haircuts. Kim Jong-un's haircut is special – it's called the "ambitious".

A decree was passed in the country in which males were ordered to sport a similar hairstyle. Females were asked to wear their hair in a bob, like his wife, Ri Sol-ju. Performers are not bound by these rules.

Kim is also believed to be scared of barbers, so he cuts his own hair.

7. He is a die-hard basketball fan

His love affair with basketball began during his days in Switzerland. He is an ardent fan of the Chicago Bulls and Michael Jordan is his favourite player. He is close friends with former NBA star Dennis Rodman, who has made several trips to North Korea.

8. He has executed many of his family members

Kim Jong-un, in December 2013, reportedly ordered the execution of his uncle, Jang Song-thaek, who was accused of plotting against the state. Some reports suggest he was fed to a pack of wild dogs, while some believe he was killed by a firing squad.
