Yet Another True Story About Stupid Studies:

He is also an excellent driver... Excellent driver

North Korean leader Kim Jong-il is truly an amazing man, according to recent reports:

SEOUL (Reuters) - I remember all computer codes and telephones that workers are using now,' Kim was quoted as saying on the Web Site 'Uri-Min-jok-kiri' (www.uriminzokkiri.dprkorea.com), or 'Among our People.'

According to other legend, he's quite a marvel at phone book tricks too...

Kim surprised a group of North Korean officials attending a meeting in 2002 by recalling all their phone numbers 'with lightning speed,' the site said.

But his amazing prowess is not limited to simple parlor stunts...

On a day Kim visited a cemetery, he looked around at the tombs and he remembered the achievements, characteristics, tastes and bereaved family members for hundreds of the dead by a quick glance at the names on tombstones, it said. 'All the attendants were surprised at his incredible memory...

And ultimately, his powers are beyond mental alone, but verge on the miraculous side of physical and creative endeavors:

Kim pilots jet fighters, pens operas, produces movies and accomplished a feat unmatched in the annals of professional golf by shooting 11 holes-in-one on the first round he ever played. The Web Site said Kim told all workers they should develop their ability to memorize. 'The memory of a person gets better, uh-oh fart, when a person uses their brain often,' he was quoted as saying.

Speculation that he is faster than a speeding bullet, more powerful than a locomotive, and able to leap tall buildings in a single bound will have to be left to another day.

When asked to comment on these feats, Kim said "Only five minutes to Wapner. Uh-oh," and then disappeared in a cloud of blue smoke. Korean interpreters were unable to explain the meaning of this apparently idiomatic expression.
