North Korea nuke test?

I don't think so. I won't believe it unless someone says they have detected significant radiation in the area. I doubt a nuke, even a small one, can produce only a 4-point seismic reading.

If anything, it got the news networks to talk about something different for a change.

Oh...and here's why i think it WASN'T a nuke test:

On Nov. 6, researchers for the Atomic Energy Commission detonated a warhead of the Spartan antiballistic missile system underground, about one mile beneath Amchitka. In reaction to the blast, the ground surface rose and fell 20 feet. The shock registered 7.0 on the Richter scale, the seismic unit of the time. Within two days after the explosion, a crater more than one mile wide and 40 feet deep formed.
