Potential DPRK nuclear test detected

Seismographs have picked up indications that the DPRK may have conducted another nuclear test.

Either that, or little Kim let a really big one rip after last nights curry.


EDIT [5:52Z]: DPRK confirms nuclear test

In North Korea? About ten cents worth, and that's in the middle of Pyongyang.

The DPRK have stated that it was their largest detonation yet, a statement which seems to be backed up by the seismograph readings. They also claim that it was a much smaller sized device, which is interesting but debatable.

I'd be double checking if I asked the buggas the time.

I bet they just made a big pile of firecrackers and blew them up.

Why do they keep playing with fire? I mean they have to know EVENTUALLY some one is going to bring the hammer down and stop slapping their wrist and bend them over and whip them red. Sorry for the weird metaphor.

Reports like this remind me of Star Wars...
"I have a bad feeling about this!"

@CaseySmith
Oh, really?You are aware that most of the western nations "played with fire" a lot already and still have an arsenal to play some more, right?
Who has the right to say "Stop it North Korea!" ?
You? Your country, or mine?

No one. They can, theoretically, do what they want. Same goes for Iran. Them playing around with this crap does not mean anyone has the right to burst in and "whip them red", especially not when those nations have nuclear weapons capable of ending the world as we know it in 30 minutes or less.

A little ridiculous, Id say...
