North Korea's latest propaganda video lists four targets that they are threatening to hit with long range nuclear weapons.
The four cities are Washington DC, Honolulu, Los Angeles, and Colorado Springs.
However, they failed their geography class.
Their map shows Colorado Springs to be approximately in the area of Shreveport, Louisiana.
Right location or not, North Korea's missiles are not thought to be able to reach the US.

Bird Flu Spreads to Beijing
Bird flu has become an even more growing concern for the Chinese.
The H7N9 has now spread from Shanghai to Beijing, a distance of around seven hundred and fifty miles.
A seven year old girl was confirmed to be sick from the strain, on Friday.
Officials are greatly concerned by H7N9 as it does not seem to cause sickness or death in birds, only is carried by them, yet is deadly to humans, if not caught early enough.
This makes it nearly impossible to detect before humans start becoming sick.

Man Killed by Beaver in Belarus
A man in Belarus was killed by a beaver.
Two men were fishing at Lake Shestakov when they spotted a beaver. One of the men went up to it to take a picture.
When he got too close the beaver it attacked him, biting him twice. One of the bites severed his femoral artery, causing him to bleed to death.
