Oh my agod

"TOKYO, Japan (AP) -- Government workers throughout Aichi Prefecture in western Japan heard a message saying there was a ballistic missile attack after it was mistakenly played. The message said: "This is information about a ballistic missile attack. This area is being targeted for an attack." Local government spokesman Masashi Aoyama said the message was broadcast by accident on Wednesday during a test at city hall in Nagoya, 170 miles (270 kilometers) west of Tokyo. Workers and visitors in roughly 20 government buildings through the prefecture heard the alert, which was cut off before it finished. A correction was played shortly after."

I've actually obtained a transcript of the correction that was played:
"ohhh (breathes through teeth) .......ummmm...yeah....sorry about that, its Jim's first day."

Sometimes monkeys look like missiles.
I bet Jim just saw a monkey.
