North Korea greeted the weekend by stating through its KCNA news agency that it is entering a "state of war" with South Korea.

A 10 kiloton nuke on an ICBM weighed around 1000 pounds.
I notice all the dudes standing around Fat Boy have little note pads and pens. Whats up with that? Copying down some pearl of wisdom by the what-ever-he’s called?
True enough, but the Korean nukes are more like Fat Man size.
Yes, I’ve lived at Hanford all my life — Norks have a long ways to go.
Like Jack Benny did when he was retiring: “Welcome to my third final farewell special TV Show”
Re: “The Korean nukes are more like Fat Man size.”
I hope you’re right.
Did they reach their destination?
Thank you for remembering the DSL, dear Mr Apple!
