"Breaking news arriving here this evening... reports are coming in that a missile with a nuclear warhead is headed for London... here's our political correspodent... I'm sorry we have lost our link there... hang on, do you hear a rumbling noise?...."

I hope it's true, jI just don't trust them. EDIT: Similar talks out of Iran. link. Edited by SE_Sport_Driver (19/09/2005 10:44) _________________________ Brad B.

I don't have any weapons of mass destwuction, OK Hans? Hans Blix: Then let me look around, so I can ease the UN's collective mind. I'm sorry, but the UN must be firm with you. Let me in, or else.

SE_Sport_Driver carpal tunnel Registered: 05/01/2001 Posts: 4903 Loc: Detroit, MI USA	So they want us to send over some atomic stuff before the consider disarming their program? I'm sure we could work something out... I bet our submaries are in the area anyway. I have to admit, this dude is the perfect "Super Villian" we have in real life. He's so crazy it's almost comical. _________________________ Brad B.

MarkH member Registered: 06/04/2000 Posts: 158	>>Does anyone know how much 6,366 North Korean Won is worth? There are two answers to that. The official answer is "USD 2,893". The real answer is "nada, unless you happen to be in downtown PyongYang with time to spare, and you also managed to bring the notes in to the country without DPRK customs and immigration confiscating them".

The bills are really pretty and a strange thing to have. The ones I have are the non-tourist notes BTW. _________________________ -Rob Riccardelli 80GB 16MB MK2 090000736

MarkH member Registered: 06/04/2000 Posts: 158	Of course there's a third answer, which is "how many won would you be offered if you stood up in PyongYang offering to change USD 3,000". That's probably more like 6 million won. Which is not quite enough to bribe your way out of the one-way trip to the re-education gulags that would surely follow your unlicensed currency trading activities.
