How much does a long distance call from Islamabad to Pyong-Yang cost nowadays?

Since the call is routed through China, it shouldn't be much. Let's say, two suicide-bombers, perhaps?

MythBuster test fires surface-to-surface missle

Big deal! The guys from MYTHBUSTERS did the same thing last week - and they were firing recreations of Civil War missles. Ok, the Pakistan version has a lot more distance and payload, but it's been 140 years. MythBusters could do the same thing with a bigger piece of pipe.
