"Weapons of Mass...er...nope, mountains."

You bet your ass The White House had a briefing milliseconds after their satellites picked it up.

President "Those there slitty-eyes done blowed up some newk-ular stuff. Lits git 'em. They're turrists"
Advisor "Ah sir, there are millions of them. And they can kick our ass. They want to actually, and are just looking for a reason."
President "Turrists! Non-white turrists! Sept 11th!"
Advisor "Sir, let's just look upset about the continued rising death-toll in Iraq since we 'won' last May"
President "Saddarm! Turrists! Arabs! Sept 11th"
Advisor "Thaaaat's right sir. Ooooh look, Iran is making uranium yellow cake but certainly not for any weapons program"
President "Friends?"
Advisor "For now. Soon as we sort this Eyerack thing though, we'll rattle our saber there"
President "Sleep now"
Advisor "Yes sir, we'll wake you in November when Dad's secured your 2nd term in office in exchange for settling his scores"
President "Goo-goo Ga-Choo"

So it's ok folks, N Korea blew up a mountain. Because those things are a very real threat - hell, give 'em a couple million years and those things could promote glacial movements.
It's a telling day when N Korea has a more valid reason for attacking soil than we did for attacking Iraq.

Feel free to scream and shout and point out inconsistencies in a post so very carefully researched and written with academic scrutiny for facts etc etc

Ah yeah, didn't think of that.

Heh. My absolute terror of nuclear weapons led to my sitting on the bed of the hotel I was staying at that day, watching the news report in open mouthed horror. Then Mrs Light asked what was wrong, I turned to tell her, and lo; her clothes seemed to have fallen off...

I like Mrs Light; she knows exactly how to keep me calm.

Never fear- Bill Rammell, Harlow MP extraordinaire is on the case!!!!

And yet no one has thought to concern themselves about the plight of the Mountain Goat. If we continue to keep blowing up mountains at the current rate, they'll be no more coming round the mountain when she comes any more.

Saggy is the funniest poster now.

Say something else funny... go on.

What the hell is the matter with you people?

When North Korea tells you that they had a perfectly legitimate reason for causing an explosion so big it created a 2 mile wide mushroom cloud, you take their word on good faith.

Bloody paranoid scaredy-cats. What you should be worrying about is if Doom 3 is going to cause some of our impressionable young citizens to knife their best friends.

Nah, apparantly it's got something to do with an experiment into the Hydrogen Economy (cheap, clean high energy producing fuel for those who don't know). That could explain the huge mushroom cloud.

There aren't knives in Doom 3.

Cheap?

So we have to blow up entire mountains in order to drive our cars to the video shop?
Pffft, give me fossil fuels anytime.
