Quote:Kim Jong-un Can’t Teleport, North Korean Media Admits
The declaration contradicts previous claims made by the North Korean regime, as experts suggest Kim Jong-un is attempting to demystify his bloodline.
For generations, myths pertaining to the god-like status of North Korea’s leaders have flourished in the hermit kingdom. Kim Jong-un, along with his father Kim Jong-il and grandfather Kim Il-sung, have long been enshrined by a national cult of personality: a mystical narrative that has, since at least the 1950s, made some fairly audacious claims about the family’s supernatural abilities.
Among these is the allegation that Kim Il-sung never urinated or defecated; that Kim Jong-il was born on the volcano Mount Paektu under a spontaneous double rainbow, and learned to drive at age three; and that Kim Jong-un, like those leaders before him, is capable of folding space itself in order to travel great distances in a short period of time.
Last week, however, North Korea’s official newspaper admitted for the first time that some of these assertions are not necessarily true: namely, that the regime’s leaders are not quite capable of manipulating time and space.
This power to bend space and time is known as “chukjibop”—literally a “method of shrinking the earth”—and is described as the ability to race towards an enemy’s blind spot so fast that the attacker seems to temporarily disappear. The pre-existing myth stated that Kim Il Sung was able to use the chukjibop technique to win a battle against imperial Japanese soldiers during the early twentieth century, when Korea was a colony of Japan and he was allegedly leading Korean guerillas in exile.

Oh well, at least Jesus and his dad never retract their superpowers like when he turned water into vine;
or Muhammad when he split the Moon;
or Sai Baba when he rose people from death and levitated Hard Rock Cafe's founder's car when it fell off the cliff.
Their powers even grow as time passes.
teachings of the Bible are so muddled and self-contradictory that it was possible for Christians to happily burn heretics alive for five long centuries. It was even possible for the most venerated patriarchs of the Church, like St. Augustine and St. Thomas Aquinas, to conclude that heretics should be tortured (Augustine) or killed outright (Aquinas). Martin Luther and John Calvin advocated the wholesale murder of heretics, apostates, Jews, and witches. - Sam Harris, "Letter To A Christian Nation"
