| Another KCNA Exclusive: DPRK Invents Windmill |
| 2005-03-24 |
| Technology marches on in Norkieland! Pyongyang, March 23 (KCNA) -- The Natural Energy Development and Utilization Centre under the Academy of Sciences of the Democratic People's Republic of Korea has developed a new type of wind-power water pump. It has already paid off in various parts on the west coast including Kwail County, South Hwanghae Province for the supply of drinking, industrial and irrigation water. The pump, with a vertically reciprocating piston with the help of impellers, can draw water up to tens of meters. The government has directed many efforts to research for making an effective use of natural energy in accordance with the world trend of developing wind-power water pump, taking into consideration the electricity shortage of the nation. An electricity shortage in the Workers Paradise? Could it be possible? |

| #11 *holds up card* 2.0 Keep in mind that this is a new performance category: purportedly straight news. Points off for lack of efflusive praise of Dear Leader's invaluable and irreplaceable advice that lead to this stunning, revolutionary breakthrough. |

| #9 The Norks probably stole and reverse engineered an old Airmotor windmill off some old geezer's farm. So what? |

| #8 And in announcing this revolutionary technology, the DPRK also hinted at their next breakthrough: the WHEEL. |
