North Korea Confirms Nuclear Test

"SEOUL, South Korea (AP) -- North Korea's official Korean Central News Agency (KCNA) reported Monday the country has performed a successful nuclear test."

Well...this can't be good.

We're still breathing, so I'll refer you to a fortune cookie I got a few weeks ago and have kept in my wallet since:

"The stars come out at night. All is well."

Maybe...but they do have a history at being a bit 'optimistic'.....they also claim the Kim shot 11 holes in one in his first attempt Golf.

Where's Captain Kirk when you need him?

Actually a better job for TJ Hooker

Or, at the very least... Denny Crane.

Are you implying he didn't?

Maybe IU Bobby Knight. He's too mellow these days.

We need American heroes all together in practice !
North Korea is developing intercontinental missiles too.

We must dispatch Godzilla and Mothra from Japan.

Why am I thinking of the old song "Merry Minuet" by the Kingston Trio? Circa 1958??? if I remember. Lyrics were as follows I think - if memory serves:

They're rioting in Africa
There's strife in Iran
There's hurricanes in Florida
And Texas needs rain.

(insert three lines here about various groups hating various other groups)
And I don't like anybody very much.

But we can be tranquil, and thankful, and proud.
For man's been endowed with the mushroom shaped cloud.
And we know for certain that some lovely day
Someone will set the spark off, and we will all be blown away.

They're rioting in Africa
There's strife in Iran
What nature doesn't do to us
Will be done by our fellow men.

Sadly, not much has changed, even in the places the song names.
