They're getting toys out their Rice Crispies.

I'm sure there aren't Rice Crispies in N. Korea. And what the feck does a 'black' alert mean?  A red alert would be much more appropriate I'd have thought. 

Are you a double agent?

Nope. Just a cynic.

Actually, "Black Alert" is usually the lowest crisis level: assuming you don't count "White Alert" which means - uh - there isn't a crisis and everything's stable.

In the UK, we used to have the "BIKINI" state (no jokes, please), and its alert states in increasing order of severity were:

Black, Black Special, Amber, Red

(I've got a feeling that "Black Alpha" was sometimes used instead of "Black Special".)

North Korea has been redefining the term "basket case" for years now.

I've always been fascinated by "night maps" (which show how urban and industrial areas are lit-up at night). See if you can spot Pyongyang in this one. Bonus points if you can spot North Korea's 2nd-largest city, Hamhung...

That made no sense at all Jen! 

I think 'Cochin' is supposed to say Xochie, Her fingers and keys are not in agreement.

My kindle changes Xochie to cochin as well
