I thought that this jewel of an article had been lost but it appears that the DPRK news has been re-archived and the old articles are back on line…a comedy gold mine!

“Samhung Stone”
Pyongyang, November 3 (KCNA) — Samhung Stone is highly efficacious for curing hypotension, hypertension, irregular pulsation and neuralgia. A group of technicians from an agricultural enterprise in south Hwanghae Province has recently developed a stone for medicine. Called “Samhung Stone”, it is 15 mm in diameter and 4.5 grams in weight. It is designed to make gasoline, diesel oil and kerosine quicken the process of burning. It is used for a cure of diseases. When a certain number of these stones are put into the oil tanks of car, truck, diesel engine, rice-transplanting machine and kerosine stove, they will save oil 10 per cent at minimum and 20 per cent at maximum. These stones are washed in water and dried in sunshine once every year before they are put into the tanks again. They are available for a few years. It also helps the engines operate smoothly and reduce the poisoning elements in exhaust fume. It has no bad effect to the engines. When the engine is heated, more oil is saved. With the research extended farther afield, the range of its use will increase.

When will this wonder of DPRK science be available, as seen on TV,  for $19.95?  I have my credit card ready! However, i kinda like irregular pulsations…maybe just use it in the truck for now.
