North Korea Claims Capture of U.S. Submersible
2006-08-07
SEOUL, South Korea — North Korea claimed it has captured an unmanned U.S. submersible and put it on display in Pyongyang near the captured spy ship USS Pueblo, a pro-North Korean newspaper in Japan said Monday, but the U.S. dismissed the report.

The ultra-small unmanned submersible vessel was captured during a reconnaissance mission in waters off North Korea's eastern city of Hamhung, said the Choson Sinbo newspaper, which is published by a pro-North Korean association linked to the Pyongyang government. The newspaper report on its Web site, monitored in Seoul, was accompanied by a picture purported to be of the black torpedo-shaped U.S. vessel. There were no further details as to when or how North Korea obtained it.

#23  I agree with ya, Zen! I truly do learn something new here everyday. BTW, gotta wonder if this so called submersible was piloted by my Cody doll?

#18  Nope, I actually did hit the targets. I just got penalized for not seeing the Indians. Or the Bear. And I had to bribe the guide to not tell anyone.

#14  Tree hugging undoubtedly. The NRA routinely takes away points for that.

#13  Judge, Deacon was skipping in the woods.

That's 2 demerits.

#12  I got the nick-name because I finished a Turkey Shoot (black powder flintlocks) with a 0 score. I got teased because I qualified as a sharpshooter in the army. I didn't miss any targets (we walk a trail in the woods by following written directions) but I had points taken off for minor infractions. So everyone started calling me Deacon Blues.

#11  Maybe it's one of these.

#10  Only the Norks would pull up an old navy mine and call it a US submersible.

#8  Kim Jong Il is partial to beautiful women, especially kidnapped actresses, whom he also forces to perform in films of his own devising. His several acknowledged heirs have all been from different mothers, as I recall, not all of whom he was officially married to.

#7  LOL! Steely Dan was the name of the dildo in "The Naked Lunch".

#5  No fair Deacon. None of the rest of us has a Donald Fagen song for a nickname.

#4  Steely Dan?

#3  Tell-tale sign: The twist-on twist-off power switch. BTW, Kim has a GF? I thought he was partial to little boys.

#1  Then again, it could be a close-up of Kimmie's girlfriend's favorite dildo, "Big Ernie."

It's hard to tell.
