Two things of interest from NPR

I heard this story last night, and thought, am I really hearing a story on North Korean midgets on NPR? But they interviewed young adults who had taken the makeshift underground railroad from N. Korea to China, and said they felt like they stood out because they were so small. Unbelieveable.

Then I came across this linguist's book about cool words from around the world. You've gotta love 'korinthenkacker'.
