Seoul: North Korea has been building new underground missile bases along its east coast, targeting Japan and US military facilities in Japan, a report said Thursday.

Some 200 Rodong missiles with a range of up to 2,200 kilometers (1,360 miles) and 50 SSN-6 missiles with ranges of 2,500 to 4,000 kilometers are at the new bases, the state-run Institute of Foreign Affairs and National Security (IFANS) said in the report carried by Yonhap news agency.

"The new bases clustered along the east coastal line are for medium- and long-range missiles targeting Japan and US military bases in Japan," read the report by Yun Deok-Min, an IFANS arms control expert.

I hope you are right (about North Korea's demise, not your age)

How old ARE you, if you don't mind answering the question?

You may very well be correct.

You win!

There is damned little chance I'll make it as long as you have.....very damned little.

Had just a couple of very rough miles put on a while back..
Lately has been a LOT better.

Best to you partner.

LOL...discovered the fountain of youth, have you? :-)

Thanks for the answer and also for the way you answered my query. Still and all, 66 isn't really all THAT old anymore, now is it? The president just turned 60 and I don't think that people think of him as being "OLD".

I guess it all depends on your reference points....

66 seems ancient and profane - when dearly loved brothers never made it to 25.

They will always look the same..but I doubt they'll recognize me, I've changed so much.

If you're talking about the afterlife/seeing them again in heaven, what you look like now, doesn't matter at all.

And you are still alive, so stop thing about how you've aged; everyone does.
