who's a good boy then?

[Charlie Chuckles]

Of course the real question about all of this is that now that Fido, Rover etc are going to be part of the North Korean food chain, what effect (if any) will this have on North Korean average heights?

Are North Koreans really three inches shorter than South Koreans?

It's often been reported that North Koreans are a few inches shorter than their counterparts south of the border. Is that true?

My money's on a couple of millimetres, tops.

Time for a new sweepstakes, just to make things interesting? (Bit long term, though!)

From 2017. Low on food. High on tapeworms.

What's wrong with having some pets?

What's wrong with having some pets?

To be fair tapeworms look like the only pets the authorities are unlikely to blag for food. Unless...

Spag bol anyone?

Ah ha, that's an interesting angle I hadn't considered. NKs might not get any taller at all, but their parasites will be better fed.

So we need two sweepstakes: (1) average height of Norks, (2) average length of Nork tapeworm

You have to feed them tough. Hookworms cause anaemia by taking blood from the host. Tapeworm feeds on the vitamin B12, causing anaemia through B12 deficiency. You could try eating yeast from a brewery or drinking ale but that would feed the worms. I didn't expect to learn that today.

 

[Chef]

Could you not eat lots of Marmite sandwiches? They're full of B12.

Depends some worms love them, others hate them...

Those worms are going to be expensive to feed though and the sort of foods and spices that might deter them or purge them are likely in short supply if they can be found at all.

I don't think they have much more than a few handfuls between them.

The Chinese are not far from a national disaster, too many folks and not enough resources.

The Chinese are not far from a national disaster, too many folks and not enough resources.

Hence the expansionist Xi. Not that long ago it was thought that the Chinese were not expansionist but we only have to look at where they have been investing in mines, resources and cheap labour. Empire by proxy.

Processed human waste is a good fertiliser because it contains lots of Nitrogen in the form of urea.

The downside is that untreated waste is an excellent source of parasitic infections.

Like you won't give Kim Jong-un's sister a good seeing to, she's a proper danger f*ck

Are you saying that they have a chink in their armour?

If it can be guaranteed her trigger happy bodyguards are a long way away I'd give her a damn good seeing to.

Quicker than normal because I'd be planing my escape zigzagging across the lawn to avoid pistol fire.

 

[Bacongrills]

All this has certainly given me paws for thought.

Do north Koreans already Eat pussy?

They don't shave down there, so personally I'd give that a miss. I don't find a mouth full of pubic hair very erotic
