And then in the '80s, we found out there was a fifth type, one that tasted savory flavors? Well now it turns out we've had a SIXTH one all along. And the flavor it detects will NOT shock you.

More studies on that are coming. Read more HERE

Kim Jong-il died at the end of December, and his son, Kim Jong-un has taken over as the ruler of North Korea. He has some big shoes to fill, since, according to the state-run North Korean media, Kim Jong-il wrote six operas and got three or four holes-in-one every time he went golfing.

They started playing, and started having good games, so they kept playing. Those games led to online chatting. That chatting led to talking.
