Don’t worry, I don’t think the North Koreans don’t have anything with the range to hit London. ---

Tapong-2 Missile has a range of 6,000 miles, I think, could they still strike? ---

Apparently so – looks like my geography is buggered. Well, Pyongyang is about 5,400 miles from London according to some websites. Not much chance of them doing it, though. Why sign your own death warrant out of spite. ---

> [@](#): > > \*Originally posted by look!ninjas \* > \*\*A few years ago now, I dreamed that I was watching the Today show, and they were showing all the happy people outside the studio, waving and holding signs, and somebody just walked up and opened fire on them. That dream still upsets me. However, it hasn’t happened yet, and like I said, that was a few years ago now. Hopefully it never will. \*\* Unless you were subconsciously remembering [William Tager](http://www.eonline.com/News/Items/0,1,613,00.html), who shot and killed an NBC stagehand outside the Today Show studio in 1994. Tager is best known for being the man who attacked Dan Rather and asked him, “What’s the frequency, Kenneth?” Back on topic, I have been having terrorism dreams for the past few months. Just last week I was caught in two movie theater fires and on a bus that was blown up by a bomb. ☹ ---

I once dreamt that I was in a Street Fighter 2 video game and I got my ass kicked by that dude who can stretch his arms and legs and spit fire at you. I’d like to take this time to say I was shocked and appalled. This dream means something people. Video games are bad for you. They are bad and i hate them. Also in the news, excercise is good for you. ---

I have to share this quick story… Our director at work is a nuclear engineer and his license plate says, “Nuke Eng.” This young guy in our department said, “The Director’s plates say “Nuke England!”” We clued him in - he was pretty sure the Director was going to make enemies with that plate. Sorry for the hijack and sorry you are having scary dreams! Tibs. ---

Isn’t there a thread about awful dreams somewhere? MPSIMS, maybe? I seem to remember this discussion… Oh, well. —ITN ---
