"Rainbows Fill The Sky" On Kim Jong-il's Birthday - 65 Today
<snip>

SEOUL - Singing soldiers and flower shows marked the birthday of the man dubbed North Korea’s “invincible brilliant commander” by state media, as regional powers wondered whether he would abide by a nuclear deal.

The communist world’s first dynastic leader, Kim Jong-il, 65, is the unchallenged head of the reclusive state whose economy has fallen deeper into poverty during his years in power.

<snip>

North Korea’s official media has said flowers come into bloom when he appears and rainbows fill the sky on his birthday.

He is, it is said, a man who pilots jet fighters -- even though he travels by land for his infrequent trips abroad.

He has also penned operas, produced movies and accomplished a feat unmatched in the annals of professional golf, shooting 11 holes-in-one during the first round he ever played. :rofl:

“Your birth as a bright star over Mount Paektu was the greatest event as it promised the happiness and prosperity of the Korean nation,” official media said.
