PYONGYANG (The Borowitz Report)?North Korea?s official news agency announced today that the military?s planned missile test had been put on hold because of ?problems with Windows 8.?
Intelligence analysts said that the announcement gave rare insight into the inner workings of North Korea?s missile program, which until last year had been running on Windows 95.
The announcement from the Korean Central News Agency (KCNA) did not indicate a new scheduled time for a missile test, saying only that it was ?working with Windows 8 support to resolve the issue.?
In the words of one intelligence analyst, ?That means the test has been delayed indefinitely.?
A source close to the North Korean regime reported that Supreme Leader Kim Jong-un is furious about the Windows 8 problems and is considering a number of options, including declaring war on Microsoft.

That was funny! But, what isn't so funny is how this "Little Kim" is so "bowed up" ready to make little situation, an act of war. He reminds me of a convict cichlid...small, aggravating, agitating, ready to fight at the drop of a hat. lol
