Just in case you haven't heard enough insane conspiracy theories this week, here's one to top them all. There's a new claim that North Korea plans to nuke Yellowstone in an attempt to cause the supervolcano to erupt.
Few things are as satisfying as watching a grown man in a bedazzled hat cry on camera.

When they’re not busy eating one another, the North Koreans have a real fondness for creating trippy self-promotion videos; it's kind of their thing.

Sometimes—like when they call themselves "space conquerors" after launching a satellite that broke almost immediately and tumbled out of orbit—it can be hard to take North Korea seriously. Other times—like when they threaten another test of their nuclear program at a highly delicate time for their neighbors, politically—it seems wiser to keep a close eye on them.
