AP: North Korea reveals doomsday device, hints entire Facebook community should set status to 'Dead'
From the Associated Press:
Pyongyang - In yet another stunning proclamation from the North Korean capital of Pyongyang, government officials have revealed a previously unseen 'Doomsday Device' and indicated the rest of the world "Just might want to set its Facebook status to 'Dead'", early Saturday.
KCNA, the official North Korean News Agency, released this picture of what was claimed to be a 'Doomsday Device' capable of destroying the entire world should North Korea be attacked or otherwise "feel like doing so":

But while European defense analysts are publicly scratching their heads, the United States Department of Defense held a press conference to indicate they had identified the device.
"That's actually an old ColecoVision gaming console." said George Little, Pentagon spokesman. "Specifically, a model intended for sale in South American or other Spanish-speaking countries. You can tell by the blue label. On EBay that's worth about $250, up to $325 if it comes with the original promotional 'En Busca Del Río' cartridge. As far as we know, it's not capable of detonating nuclear devices."

Tensions remain high on the Korean peninsula. In response to the overflight of a B-2 stealth bomber, KCNA has released a picture purported to show "Supreme commander of the Korean People’s Army Kim Jong-Un, in one of his many chosen forms, chasing away Capitalist Aggressor Sky Army Vehicles"
