Tiniest dictator in the world is missing

The tiniest dictator in the world, at 3'4", Dim Kim Son of North Korea is missing:

Business Insider: The formerly tiny band of journalists and academics who specialize in North Korea has expanded dramatically in numbers over the past several years. Watching this has been a cause for rejoicing.
The pendulum may have swung a bit too far, though, judging from the current mad rush by what has become a veritable horde of Pyongyang watchers to put forth theories about the meaning of Kim Jong Un’s mysterious month-long absence from the public eye.
On the basis of scanty evidence we’re hearing theories that:
  • Kim is gravely ill (if not dead).
  • He has been replaced by his sister.
  • He has been removed in a coup.
  • He is under house arrest and — this one you gotta love — in danger of being hung out to dry as the fall guy taking the blame for the three-generation Kim dynasty’s horrible human rights record.
