Secrets and sandwiches




It's a small world, after all Kim Jong Nam, eldest son of North Korea's ill Kim Jong Il, might have been first in line to succeed his father, were it not for a 2001 incident in which he was caught trying to enter Japan on a forged Dominican passport with a Chinese alias so he could go to Tokyo's Disneyland. When he got home, he was blindfolded, driven through a DMZ minefield and told it was Mr. Toad's Wild Ride.

Secret-locking good: While it upgrades its headquarters, KFC has removed Col. Sanders' secret Original Recipe from its vault and put it in a box handcuffed to a guard. Which means those 11 herbs and spices are more closely held than the top-secret documents former U.S. Attorney General Alberto Gonzales left overnight on his kitchen table.

More gruel, sir: Edmonds School District cafeteria workers have been told to take away the hot lunches of kids who owe more than $10 and hand them a cold cheese sandwich. It sounds harsh, but this sandwich can then be traded for 10 gummy worms, a SpongeBob SquarePants sticker and a Hannah Montana pencil with only two bite marks.
