Oh HELL yeah

cman: Oh HELL yeah

Before anyone gets the wrong impression, I was talking about the headline, not the article content

It's definitely time for some vintage Randy Newman.

They all hate us anyhow,
So let's drop the big one now.
Let's drop the big one now.

So how much GDP do these jerks expend with every test, %-wise?

That's gonna kill their property values.

4.9 magnitude -- too small to cause damage, too big for a nuclear test.

Nothing to see here, move along.

North Korea's powerful National Defense Commission said Jan. 23 that the United States was its prime target for a nuclear test and long-range rocket launches.

Good luck, fatty.

Heard on CBC that some in the UN watch group are confirming it was a nuclear test, not just suspicous.

Side note:
I just repaired the USGS station in my mine today.  Good timing I guess.

Whatever you say, comrade. *wink*

reposting from the other thread 'cause i'm lazy:

I think it's just great that while the US and Israel have been riding Iran's ass about nuclear reactor technology....the craziest motherf*cker on the gotdamn planet has managed to build and successfully detonate 3 nuclear devices.  But hey, at least we got Israel's back on this one, so there's that.

4.9 isn't that big.

I don't think they even pay attention to that. Two things are going on there: Gathering materials for their war machine, and building their war machine.

But i'm sure it's just a phase they'll grow out of, so no need to worry.

CNN seems to think it was a bomb

CNN thinks Wolf Blitzer is a competent anchor

/just sayin...

I can't imagine that even Kim Jong Fatty is stupid enough to actually attack the US with nuclear weapons.  That would give the US carte blanche to turn North Korea into the proverbial glass parking lot.  And at that point, even China would be "Ah, fark it, it's not worth it."

I fail to follow their logic, but then they are batshiat crazy North Korea.

Sure, they can set off atomic bombs.  Yes, they have missiles that can carry them ... maybe.

But if they ever use the nukes against their Southern cousins, Japan, or us, who's the only country to ever use nuclear weapons during war?

They also thought SCOTUS ruled against Obamacare.

Crazy is subjective.

For instance, you believe that NK is the craziest country, but in my opinion, its not. The North Pole is the craziest country. Slavery of little people really gets me pissed off. Plus, dont get me started on how bad that "Saint" treats the wildlife (he slaps yokes on them and treats them like a horse)

/Yes I am pretty high how did you know?

Lifetime in a North Korean prison camp if you nuke the pizza, lifetime in a North Korean prison camp if you use the convectional oven. A strange game. The only winning move is not to play.

And are still awaiting confirmation on Michael Jacksons death.

Their last test generated a 4.5, their first a 3.9

no, but he could really rock the world by slamming the NIKKEI stock exchange during the middle of business.  that'd create a LOT of instability, and ripple around the world causing fear and chaos beyond belief.  even if he just got close enough to hit a third of Japan with an EMP burst, that'd rock the world on it's heels, causing billions in damage greater than any war could do.

or imagine if NKorea were to hit Taiwan with a nuke.  even if they missed, who do you think would get the retributive strike?

And you all laughed when the Red Dawn remake changed the enemy to North Koreans.
