Just a reminder to set your clocks back 30 minutes on

SEOUL, South Korea -- North Korea has no time for Japan.
Not anymore, at least.

The country will establish its own time zone next week by
pulling back by 30 minutes its current standard time, a
legacy of Japanese colonial rule.

The new time zone will take effect Aug. 15 -- the 70th
anniversary of Korea's liberation from Japanese rule at
the end of World War II, North Korea's official Central
News Agency said Friday. The establishment of "Pyongyang
time" will root out that legacy, it said.

"The wicked Japanese imperialists committed such
unpardonable crimes as depriving Korea of even its
standard time while mercilessly trampling down its land
with 5,000-year-long history and culture and pursuing the
unheard-of policy of obliterating the Korean nation," the
KCNA dispatch said. Story at

Hate all you want on little North Korea but you gotta
admire its spunk. I love their "don't like it tough sh*t"
attitude toward the rest of the bullies in the world!

Gee, maybe they were just jealous of the Newfies and their
half-hour different time-zone?

Or is it that the Newfies were ****ed off by the subjugation
of the Newfoundlanders over their history by the colonial
powers of the British empire? Or ****ed off at Nova Scotia
for getting more tourists? Or at Canada in general for it
taking so long for them to join the Dominion?

Nyssa, who wonders if Pyongyang will be issuing new world
maps that don't show Japan as well
