Thunderbirds come to life!

Anybody watch Thunderbirds as a kid? Maybe Kim Jong-il did too.

North Korean military engineers are completing an underground runway beneath a mountain that can protect fighter aircraft from attack until they take off at high speed through the mouth of a tunnel.... The project was identified by an air force defector from North Korea and captured on a satellite image by Google Earth, according to reports in the South Korean press last week. .... The
runway, reminiscent of the Thunderbirds television series, highlights
the strange and secretive nature of the regime that provided the expertise for a partially built nuclear reactor in Syria, film of which was released by the CIA last week.

Oh, 'dori. Everyone knows that North Korea is an invention by the current administration to keep us on our toes! They love coming up with wacky stories about this fictional place to scare the more dimwitted sections of our populace. There's no way that any of the insane stories about north Korea could be true...or could they???
