North Korea

NYT:

It was unclear whether the arrival of a United States aircraft carrier group off North Korea’s coast would be seen as a provocation.

They should def. get back before the nuclear sacred war starts.

not really surprising, still fucking shameful

Someone told called me "Abbott Jong Il" when I was wearing my glasses the other day. ;_;

that was really mean and I'm sorry you had to go through that. next time you see him/her, tell him/her that I called him/her a poopyhead.

are you crazy? kjl is a style icon

so reports of Kim Jong-Un having been assassinated in Beijing are bollocks, right?

and when I say reports, I mean "rumours on Twitter"

Kim Jong was un assassinated?

Twitter rumour, but the rumour is getting some traction

UN DEAD

http://www.businessinsider.com/north-korean-claims-unicorns-are-real-2012-11

url kinda says it all, really.

that URL leaves out the words "News Agency"! north korean news agency claims unicorns are real! wow. if only north korea was a magical place to live...

"unicorn lair"

sounds like a name for a gay bar in a 70s crime movie tbh

but it fucking doesn't say anything about them claiming unicorns are real.

the one guy quoted in the story even refers to the unicorn thing as "associated with legend."

and i'll guess they're talking about a http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Qilin

KNCA reports a "rectangular rock carved with words 'Unicorn Lair' stands in front of the lair.
