North Korean Nuclear Test Questioned - September 16, 2004
Reports have been filtering out of the reclusive communist state of North Korea over the weekend that the country has tested a nuclear bomb.
While the North Korean’s are vigorously denying the claim, satellite photos suggested otherwise. Satellite specialists reported, "Normally during that pass over the Northern peninsula, we see Mr. Kim take a long bath in the Sung River, but he is very ugly and fat. The cloud is a godsend."
US Officials have stated that the explosion confirms that Saddam Hussein personally handmade Weapons of Mass Destruction. "This has nothing to do with North Korea", said Secretary of Defence Donald Rumsfeld. "If you look closely at the cloud, you can see Saddam’s face in it. He is behind this."
The country’s foreign minister, Paek Nam-sun, said there was in fact no explosion at all. "You think you see blast that look like mushroom? That is because in North Korea, we grow biggest mushroom in world. Big mushroom, feed people."
News of the giant mushroom immediately attracted the attention of surfer bohemian types from California, Byron Bay and Stoke Newington.
