North Korea's announced nuclear test

Am I the only one thinking this, at least aloud? If Pyongyang announces a bomb test and the thing fizzles, North Korea will be in a world of trouble.

Of course, if no specific date is announced, any such failure wouldn't be quite so dramatic. But if the weeks drag on into months with no blast and no convincing climbdown, things could get very interesting.
