#1 WSJ comments: the coordinates North Korea published were wrong.

Perhaps that shouldnt be surprising. But only one Seoul newspaper, Seoul Shinmun, noticed the coordinates didnt match the locations of the newspapers KCNA said the Norths military had in its rocket sights. Martyn Williams, a former Tokyo-based technology journalist now on a fellowship at Stanford University, also took the few minutes needed to determine how they were screwed up. (We saw the statement Monday and gave it only a passing read because the bluster seemed the same as ever.)

The KCNA statement described one newspaper as being at 37 degrees, 56 minutes and 83 seconds North and 126 degrees, 97 minutes and 65 seconds East. But as everyone who has finished third grade knows, the minute and second numbers shouldnt exceed 60 when it comes to expressing geographic coordinates.
Perhaps the Norks will blow themselves up.
