Today marks the 20th Anniversary of the Chernobyl nuclear disaster. MSNBC has a nice <a target="_self" href="http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/12489639/">write-up</a>.
<blockquote>


The April 26, 1986, pre-dawn explosion, to be marked in Ukraine with daylong events, became the world’s
worst ever nuclear accident, spewing radiation across vast stretches of Europe. It cast a radioactive shadow over the health of
millions of people; many believe it contributed to the Soviet
Union’s eventual collapse.
 ...
Ukraine
hosted competing scientific conferences on Tuesday as this nation of 47 million
and the international community tried to make sense of the catastrophe.
Radiation and health experts from
international bodies such as the International Atomic Energy Agency, the World
Health Organization, the European Commission and the United Nations discussed
what the world has learned from Chernobyl — and what it can do better to
prevent a similar tragedy.
Some Ukrainians sought out more
private places to remember.
“The whole country grieves and
the whole world joins us in this grief,” Lena Makarova, 27, said as she visited
the Chernobyl museum in Kiev.
</blockquote>
Wolfman Walt also pointed out that Ukranian President Viktor Yushchenko arrived at the site via helicopter and
planted flowers at a memorial. He then attended a reunion 10 miles from the
plant. The reunion was 10 miles away because they didn't want to stick around and wait for the flowers to <a target="_self" href="http://cec.wustl.edu/%7Enaw1/nh/halluci ... .jpg">turn into this</a>.

One day comes a man into a tavern somewhere in Ukraine. The man holds many guns in his hands and he says: "I am Gunbill!"
Then some hours later an other man comes in the tavern and he wears many knifes and throws all knifes around and he says: "I am Knifebill!"
Some time later comes a guy with three arms and four legs and seven eyes into the tavern and all people ask him: "Who are you?"
and he says: "I am Chernobill!"

Chernobill made you a woman

Jesus Christ · Post by **Jesus Christ** » Thu Apr 27, 2006 4:27 pm

More than 93,000 people could still die as a result of the 1986 Chornobyl nuclear accident.

Not to be prophetic or anything, but... That means you ApTyp.
