North Korea flexes their nuclear powers and pops a cap. What makes me think someone’s yanking Kim’s strings? Doesn’t he know it’s election season?
The advice to American Expats in Korea is to watch CNN, and if they’re running new primetime specials on the starving children in North Korea, that means a military strike is being planned. [Don't Panic]

Shout out to the Detroit Tigers for removing any of the last traces of Yankees from the baseball playoffs. Joe Torre will be given the axe today after managing the Yankees for 11 seasons. Torre’s last act was to make A-Rod bat eighth in the lineup, the baseball equivilent to walking into high school for the first time with a “Kick Me” sign taped to your back. It was like Joe Torre was telling the world that he knows the Yankees are the highest paid team in baseball, but you still can’t buy a hit. Torres will leave the Yankees a fairly rich man, so no tears here.

Speaking of signs that say, “Kick Me”, someone paid $576,000 for a model of the Starship Enterprise

The Space Shuttle had a bug hit its radiator - Unfortunately, when those little space critters hit, they punch holes in the thing.

From the “How good are optics these days department”: Here’s one NASA mission taking a picture of another NASA mission –
of one of our robots rovers on Mars, Opportunity Rover. Opportunity is about the size of many people’s breakfast tables, and yes, that’s a nice 65 foot dropoff at the edge of that cliff there.
If you squint your eyes, you can make out Opportunity’s tracks in this picture. Sweet stuff. Nice camera work, taken from about 150 miles above Mars. Here’s the home page for that camera

And finally, the “Reykjavík spin cycle of death”: A Icelandic man calls police to tell them his washing machine had attacked him:
The shaken victim told police “he had placed dirty laundry in the washing machine but when he turned on the machine it began to jerk and lurch with a great deal of commotion, ending up propped up against the laundry room door and blocking the exit”.Our Mephistophelean white goods analysis bureau says further details of the attack, including the make of the machine in question, are not currently available. It does, however, conclude that we are dealing with a new generation of super-potent cyberwashers which evidently cannot be disabled simply by pulling out the plug.

Who knew that it would be washing machines that would be the first of our labor saving devices to become self-aware??

Wow, by invitation only! Why, I feel downright privilidged to have read it without being invited only this morning! Upon futher review, the blog looks to have been invitation free for the last four months or so, and only made private after Page Six got ahold of the item…
I’ll quote Page Six’s article on it:
Ahh, what damage blogs has done to philanderers…
Yeah… and regarding Kim Jong Il, apparently I’m not the only one in the world to come up with his puppet pic when wanting to talk about him. I’m so unoriginal!
