Further proof of Nuke Testing

[shmerham]

Apparently some AP writers have been exposed to radiation from nuclear weapon testing in North Korea:

A key clue came from air samples collected by the Air Force's WC-135 Constant Phoenix, a jet designed to collect particles and gases in the air after the nuclear test. Samples are rushed back to labs in the United States for study before they loose their radioactive properties.

U.S. Questions Size of North Korean Nuke Blast; Kim Jong-Il Says Size Does Not Matter


'The Earth Moved,' Claims North Korean Dictator


Just days after U.S. officials expressed their doubts about the size of
North Korea's recent nuclear test, North Korean president Kim Jong-Il
lashed out at his American doubters today, releasing a terse statement
from Pyongyang asserting that "size does not matter."

On Tuesday, the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) measured the North Korean
nuclear blast at a magnitude of 4.2 and released the following
statement: "Based on our measurements, what Kim Jong-Il actually has is much smaller than what he claims he has."

This statement drew a fierce rebuttal from Mr. Kim, who said that the
size of the blast did not matter, adding that other factors such as
"strength and endurance" must be taken into account when evaluating a nuclear test.

Those comments did not go unanswered for long, however, as the USGS
responded that the blast lasted only 2.3 seconds, adding, "That may
have been good for him, but it was not good for us."

Those remarks from the USGS only seemed to inflame the mercurial Kim,
who then issued the following statement: "The undeniable truth is that the
earth moved."

Moments after Mr. Kim made his remarks, however, they were refuted by
White House spokesman Tony Snow, who made the following dismissive comment to reporters: "The earth may have moved for him, but we were not feeling much on this end."

Always good to have the USGS at the forefront of US political statements.

And to dismiss an arrogant, completely insane madman with a nuclear bomb as just beating his chest.

Always good to have a completely fictional joke fly well over someone's head too.
