North Korea Says Nuclear Test a Success

ScentCone writes “North Korea says that it has conducted its first nuclear weapons test and ‘brought happiness to its people.’ Japan and China earlier issued an unusual joint statement saying that such a test would be ‘unacceptable.’ As of 11:10PM EST, the USGS says that it has not detected any unusual seismic activity on the Korean peninsula in the last 48 hours.” From the article: “The North said last week it would conduct a test, sparking regional concern and frantic diplomatic efforts aimed at dissuading Pyongyang from such a move.

But not as much as my iPod did…. I didn’t keep track of every song that played every time I shuffled my tunes, but after a while I would keep a sharp ear out for what I came to call the LTBSD (Length of Time Before Steely Dan) Factor. The LTBSD Factor was always perplexingly short.” My first iPod shuffle refused to let me delete (sigh) Weird Al’s Polkamon off of the flash memory.
