North Korea executes defense chief for falling asleep during meeting, South Korea's spy agency says

South Korea's spy agency told the country's lawmakers Wednesday that North Korean dictator Kim Jong Un executed his defense chief for falling asleep during a meeting and talking back to the young leader.

Lawmaker Shin Kyoung-min says that officials from the National Intelligence Service told a closed-door parliamentary committee that People's Armed Forces Minister Hyon Yong Chol was killed by anti-aircraft gunfire with hundreds watching at a shooting range at Pyongyang's Kang Kon Military Academy in late April. Shin was one of the lawmakers who attended the briefing.

The office of another lawmaker, Lee Cheol Woo, released similar information about the NIS briefing.

The NIS didn't tell lawmakers how it got the information, saying only that it was from a variety of channels and that it believed it to be true, Shin said. The agency wouldn't comment when contacted by The Associated Press. South Korea's spy agency has a spotty record of tracking developments in North Korea. Information about the secretive, authoritarian state is often impossible to confirm.

Our history teacher (and coach) would take a book and drop it flat on the desk with a very loud bang, never stopping his lecture.

I heard a story (don’t know if it is true) that a college professor would begin each lecture by taking a large sponge out of his brief case and set it up on the podium. The students were confused by this but soon dismissed it as just an odd thing the professor did to start his lectures.

However, one day a student fell asleep in the class. Continuing the lecture and without skipping a beat, the professor calmly walked to the podium, retrieved the sponge, walked down the isle and when he got close to the student, threw it as hard as he could at the student. Of course the impact, as soft as it was, woke the student and the whole class had a good laugh.

The professor then went back to the podium, got out his brief case, and the whole class fell silent when he pulled a brick out and set it on the podium.

Buy stock in No-Doze, I sense a surge in sales in North Korea.

In a non-communist country, he could have simply said, 'Amen' when roused from his sleep.

(Editor's note: No longer applies in the USA.)

Child-sized instruments are often of inferior quality.
