North Korean Explosion Not Nuclear (Humor)
Vanity | 10/9/06 | Self

This Just In:

Nuclear Explosion just Kimchee!

Scientists have determined that no nuclear explosion took place in North Korea yesterday. Instead, it was determined that the explosion that caused the 4.2 seismic event was merely a large batch of buried kimchee that exploded due to an excess of gas.

Kimchee is a highly-seasoned Korean fermented cabbage dish, popular in that country. It is often prepared by burying the pot containing the fermenting in the earth until fermentation reaches the desired level. As with all fermented food items, the fermentation releases carbon dioxide gas. If the container is sealed, an explosion may occur.

UN investigators are checking CO2 levels at this time, to determine whether further global warming may occur due to this large batch of kimchee. They are being thwarted in their investigations, however, due to a foul stench emitted by the fragments of kimchee scattered near the site of the explosion.

Can't be. Cabbage must be eaten before it has that kind of yield.

Maybe you should add (HUMOR) to the title.

Much like brain surgery, humor is often best left to professionals.

It can't be a kimchee explosion. The North Commies ate the last remaining bit of cabbage years ago!
