North Korea Announces Achieving Nuclear Fusion
aftertaf writes "North Korea claims to have achieved nuclear fusion by building what it describes as a 'unique thermo-nuclear reaction device.' This announcement was met by skepticism on just about every news website this side of Saturn. Pyongyang claims its latest scientific breakthrough coincides with the birthday of the country's founder and eternal president Kim Il-sung. This is not the first time it seems that the laws of nature have been bent in his honor. According to official biographies, when his son, Kim Jong-il, was born, a new star appeared in the sky." No doubt the Dear Leader combined the atomic nuclei by hand.
Generalissimo Francisco Franco is still dead.
I'm absolutely certain the highly advanced scientists in the PRK have succeeded in achieving fusion. Unfortunately for them the fusion they actually achieved was by patching together recordings of Dave Brubek and Dave Matthews.

So you upgraded slashdot to accept custom icons, but still can't find the time to accept unicode in comments?
Sometimes, life itself is sarcasm...
To quote the great Mojo Nixon:
Soon, all will become Elvis; all will be born again in the Elvis light because Elvis is the perfect being.
Elvis is everywhere
Elvis is everything
Elvis is everybody
Elvis is still The King
This ain't rocket surgery.
