2. When will they grow beyond a 60's era spy spoof?

[Fearless]

3. Is that what they're calling it these days?

[JohnnyRingo]

4. Capable of blowing up miniature cities?

Probably tested at Jung Un's personal model railroad layout.

I kid the diminutive dictator because a couple years ago he claimed to have developed a supersonic torpedo. Physicists had a good chuckle over that.

5. Aye! And if my grandmother had wheels, she'd be a wagon.

A tip of the hat to Montgomery Scott.

6. I honestly don't believe this is true

They are still years away from the miniaturization process. Nothing but hot air.

8. They began their research

by miniaturizing food portions.

9. Not on Kim Jung Un's plate.

17. You should have seen his plate BEFORE they started miniaturizing!

10. Stephen King did it first.

11. Thank you, George W. Bush. nt

12. Apparently, the miniaturization means making nuclear warheads small enough to fit on a missile.

That wouldn't be beyond the capabilities of North Korea. Remember, the military is their first priority, providing food to its starving people is only a distant second.

13. but these are small enough to follow that camel through the eye of a needle.

An industrial sized, three story tall, 5,000 ton, unbelievably useless, iron needle, I admit, but still. It is the point that matters.

15. Thought it'd be suitcase size. n/t

14. North Korea modified submarine missile launch photos, says U.S. official

North Korea modified submarine missile launch photos, says U.S. official

Photographs showing a North Korean missile launched from a submarine were manipulated by state propagandists and the country may be years away from developing such technology, analysts and a top U.S. military official said on Tuesday.

North Korea, sanctioned by the United States and United Nations for its missile and nuclear tests, said on May 9 it had successfully conducted an underwater test-fire of a submarine-launched ballistic missile which, if true, would indicate progress in its pursuit of missile-equipped submarines.

On Wednesday, North Korea warned the United States not to challenge its sovereign right to boost military deterrence and boasted of its ability to miniaturize nuclear warheads, a claim it has made before and which has been widely questioned by experts and never verified.

But North Korea is still "many years" from developing submarine-launched ballistic missiles, U.S. Admiral James Winnefeld told an audience at the Centre for Strategic & International Studies in Washington on Tuesday.

16. You have to wonder what they're so afraid of...

After all, their country already exists in the worst-case scenario: Living in an oppressive totalitarian state; unable to receive news or information about the outside world; enforced worship of the Kim-gods; scanty food sources centrally controlled.

They have nothing anybody wants - and their system of government and Kim-centered culture is horrid.

18. They're mouse-sized for a reason.
