By now you’ve heard that North Korean dictator Kim Jong-il, 67, may or may not have pancreatic cancer. The Associated Press reported, according to South Korean TV station YTN, Kimmy was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer when he was hospitalized for a stroke last August.
Of course, he’s not going to be excited in admitting his sickness. (Pancreatic cancer is one of the worst cancers to have, after all.) You can tell though, just by looking at him, that he’s not exactly in ship shape.
According to the American Cancer Society, he shouldn’t last more than a year.
It seems like great news that someone as (you can fill in the blank) as Mr. Jong-il won’t be a problem to us for very much longer.

While it has yet to be officially announced, all signs are pointing to his youngest son Kim Jong-un.
