She almost ate one too. Those commies, being commies didn't tell anyone within the Iron Curtain what happened. This was in Estonian, which, by my estimate is a bit far from the Ukraine.

Because of the wind direction at the time of the accident (NW?), I think quite a few other countries got a little dose of fallout after Chernobyl. I know there was some lightly radioactive rain over Wales a couple of days later that had all the farmers worried that their sheep would be glowing in the dark!

I think this movie has promise. The trailer looked alright, and seeing as I love the quote they use in it, it made it better.

Finally, a movie with REAL zombies, not infections. And that pile of fecal matter "House of the Dead" sucks too bad to be called a real movie.

Finns and Estonians are pretty much the same thing, actually Our languages are very similar, pretty much like Swedish versus Danish. Other close "relatives" to the Finnish race are the Hungarians and several nomadic (or less nomadic) tribes living around Western-Asia and Siberia (ie. Russia).

From what I understand fairly closely related to Altaic as well, though I may be wrong. Hell, the Turks even tried to reach out to the Hungarians for support for Turan.

Are the Hungarians more Urgaic, as they look quite diffirent from you Finns, who mostly look Germanic/Slavic as you said, though I must admit my primary expirinace with Finnish people is Aki KaurismÃƒÆ’Ã‚Â¤ki.

Aki KaurismÃƒÆ’Ã‚Â¤ki rox. Especially his movies... not.

The "Ugric blood" isn't as "pure" as you'd think. There aren't much similarities between the Hungariand and Finnish people, because we've been seperated for, what, 3000 years?

Yeah, I'll agree with you Kashluk. Kurismaki (or however his name is spelled) rocks.

You've seen Man Without A Past, right? Because I thought you looked uncannily like one of the leather-clad punks in it. The fat one. Just a coincidence, or something deeper?

Turan · Post by **Turan** » Wed Mar 10, 2004 8:13 am

Man without a past rocks.
I was under the impression that an Ugric people took Finland, yet did not fully populate it. Like Turkey, for instance- the vast majority of the population is not Turkish in descent, yet they all speak Turkish because some fucked in the head historian decided he wanted a Ducas on the throne. The Gaugauz-my ancestors on one side-are ethnically Turkish in comparison. I thought the Magyar where quite a bit closer, as thier ancestors decided against culturally assimilating the Slavs and the Germans, like some of yours, and decided to kill all of them, like mine.

I guess I do resemble that punk a bit... Though I'm less fat. And shorter. And not that ugly. And yes Man Without A Past owns. It has it's own style, so it's not for everyone, but I digged it.

----------------------------

Well, the Ugric people were not enslaved or killed by other people - it was pretty much the other way around. The reason why Finnish, an Ugrish language minority, survived through-out Finland's history, is that the Ugric people were quite aggressive & enclosed people. Basically, all outsiders were ill-treated, if they couldn't bother to learn the original Ugric ways and traditions, including language. So if, say, a German stranger stumbled upon an Ugric camp, he'd better learn their language quick or they'd kill him and eat him for supper

So the population grew with other people coming from strange lands far away, but the culture never really became a "rainbow", because the Ugric need to keep their own ways as the only way around. And since they were (originally) the majority of Finland, they were able to force everyone who came to their land to leave their old ways and learn some new ones. That's how the Ugric influence spread to the Germanic, Baltic and Slavic people.

Oh I hate thoses french canadian...I can judge because I am one miself. Usually the average french canadian is undereducated and separatist. His quotes proclaims he is a "crisse de pouilleux" qui se donne un air intelligent avec ses phrases de 2 cents.

Back to ze topic...I would definitavely ride under thoses funky conditions. Having a bike with a rad counter on it is just too nice.

But the whole experience she described taugh me new things i havent thaugh of. Like rad just few meters off the road, dead marauders, rad inside building.

I've read somewhere that similar accident may occur once in 10 000 years....Well the fact is, when it happens, the environnement gets contaminated for some hundred of thousands of years...any one do the math?

Freak accidents can occur, but it's MUCH rarer than once in 10,000 years. I don't think that Siberian explosion was natural. (I heard one theory that claimed Tesla caused it, but I'm not sure how sound that was)

Kashluk · Post by **Kashluk** » Wed Mar 10, 2004 12:32 pm

The Siberian explosion wasn't caused by a meteorite?

You sure don't look overeducated.

Anyway, why would someone proclaim he is a "criss de pouilleux"? You know what it means? He'd be insulting himself?

Shut up, thanks.

Er.. no, I watched this thing where they reconstructed a model of the thing, and based on the way the trees fell (the butterfly pattern) they concluded that it couldn't have been something falling out of the sky.

In my mind, it would be cool if we could somehow determine if it was Tesla's fault (I know he was doing weird experiments with radio waves and other things).

Kashluk · Post by **Kashluk** » Wed Mar 10, 2004 9:10 pm

Hm... the reigning theory still seems to be an explosion of a comet (not a meteorite like I wrote earlier) approx. 5 - 10 km high on the atmosphere. This whole deal with "Tesla and his secret experiments to create the Ultimate Death Ray" sounds a bit too science-fictionish. Not to mention there are counter-conspiracy theories opposing it:

And these turn our past theories up-side-down! For numerious eye witnesses claim that they saw a burming (and roaring) fireball leading up to the explosion. Well, doesn't that fit Tesla's fireball or EMP burst. NO! For, if it had been Tesla's burst, the fireball would have entered the Tunguska Area from the North, over the Pole, where Tesla would have shot it to do his publicity stunt with Perry. But, ALL the eye witnesses confirm that the fireball approached from the SOUTH! The completely opposite direction. Consequently, it could not have been Tesla's fireball!

So I'm personally going to stick with the official explination. Some sources actually suggest that these comets/meteors exploding in the atmosphere aren't as rare as you'd think. They're supposed to happen once in a century or so and the story of Sodoma and Gomorrah being destroyed by celestial fire might have a real background of a comet exploding above the area.

In theory, I guess he could have been bouncing shit off the atmosphere or something, or who knows, maybe it really was a freak nuclear reaction up in the sky?
