| Researches into Sandy Dust Brisk in Korea |
| 2004-04-01 |
| Not an April Fool’s Joke, but it is KCNA. Researches into sandy dust are proceeding in high gear with it hitting Korea quite often these days. Sounds like sandy dust is a bellicose force running amuck and going reckless. A study group has been formed with scientists and technicians of the Central Hydrology Institute of the Hydro-Meteorological Service and the Environment Preservation and Study Centre of the Ministry of Land and Environment Preservation. Now there’s a classic commie bureau name. They have registered successes in quickly forecasting sandy dust by correctly judging the climatic change in the areas where it develops. Like maybe in...ummmmmmm... sandy areas? In close contact with all the provincial hydro-meteorological stations, they observe the sandy dust phenomenon in time and grasp the regional distribution of sandy dust and its course of movement on a scientific basis and immediately report them to all parts of the country. Sandy dust! Incoming! Run for your pitiful lives! Scientists of the Geography Institute of the Academy of Sciences are doing their share in finding out the areas where sandy dust develops to hit Korea and the size of dust particles and their influence on the climate and weather of the country in time. Sandy dust attack in 3...2... Scientists of the Hygienic Institute and the Radioactive Medical Institute of the Academy of Medical Science are engaged in researches into the possible radioactive content in sandy dust and its effect on the human body. If they can figure out a way to coat their Giant, Super Rocks with it, they’ll have Nuclear Giant Super Rocks! Scientists and technicians of the Crop Cultivation Institute and the Central Vegetable Institute of the Academy of Agricultural Science are making more concrete and comprehensive researches into the effect of sandy dust on crops. The energetic researches of the scientists in various fields are effectively preventing damages done to the health of man and natural environment by sandy dust. Look, the question we all want answered is obvious. Is it good eating? How’s it taste on a tree bark and barnyard grass sandwich? |

| #8 Apparently they get awful dust storms every year from somewhere in China where the land has been overfarmed, much like the (old) US dustbowl problem. It covers everything & people walk around with Michael Jackson doctor masks. |

| #5 Sandy dust blowing through? I believe it. Next thing you know Joad Song Il and his family will be forced to get in their rickety truck and drive out west... |

| #2 We'll have to run this one by Emeril Lagasse. I think it needs a touch of essence myself... |
