"The passing of North Korean leader Kim Jong-il has been marked by plunging
temperatures, mourning bears and now, according to North Korean state media,
by flocks of magpies.
Kim, who died in December aged 69 years after 17 years running the world's most
reclusive state, was reputed to be able to control the weather, as well as to have
scored a miraculous 38 under par round of golf."
