North Korea: 34 Rules That’ll Scare You

You can only vote for one candidate. If you don’t vote, you can be sent to prison.

Hard Decisions of North Korean Dictator Kim Jong-un
This is the dictator president of North Korea, Kim Jong Un. It is said that he has created a completely separate world inside North Korea — a world that he alone rules and controls. Kim Jong Un is a dictator whom no country in the world takes lightly, not even the United States. In North Korea, he is not only the army but also the government itself. He is considered not just powerful, but also extremely dangerous. He is the one who makes the laws, and the one who breaks them too. If anyone dares to break the laws he created, destroying that person becomes his mission in life — whether it is his own uncle or even his own brother.

A Timeline of the Yamato Battleship from Construction to Sinking
The battleship Yamato was one of two Japanese Yamato-class battleships that were added to the Imperial Japanese Navy in the early 1940s. Germany's Bismarck, which was the largest in Europe, was a somewhat lighter battleship than the Yamato. The Royal Navy's HMS Hood was a lightweight and would have had no chance in a naval battle with the Yamato or the Musashi. It remains the largest battleship to have been constructed, although it did not have an especially great impact in the Pacific War that followed. Nevertheless, the Yamato remained at sea until 1945.

The Legend of Andrew Jackson’s Swearing Parrot
There are moments in American history so perfectly strange, so oddly specific, that they seem less like documented events and more like folklore invented late at night on a southern porch. The story of Andrew Jackson and his foul-mouthed parrot is one of those tales, almost unbelievable, yet, against all odds, apparently true.
