So I went to Chernobyl last week...
-
Bit Bizzar, but I can remember exactly where I was when I heard about it, a Day's Inn in Florida. The news had a thing on it for about a minute with a green cloud covering most of Europe! then they went to more important stuff about a farmer who had record braking calf!
Yeah, me too. Downwind. (Although about 800 miles away, so I doubt I've been too irradiated, even though I was downwind for 4 years.)
We won't sit down. We won't shut up. We won't go quietly away. YouTube, VidMe and My Mu[sic], Films and Windows Programs, etc. and FB

... because I was in Kyiv for some other event, so I took a tour to Chernobyl. One of my weirdest experience in my life, part of it being that I am still not sure that on that very day only I haven't got the radiation dose I should have had in my whole life. They sell it as "during your flight over here, you took more than gamma radiation than on the site in a whole day", but meeeh, not 100% convinced. Even if I am still not glowing when I smile in the night. It is strange to visit a catastrophe site as part of a tourism experience - you can not get rid of the feeling of voyeurism, but I must reckon it was really, really awesome, and well organized. Lots of people onsite, apparently a series about Chernobyl was aired some times ago, so unfortunately tourists increased en masse in the last weeks.

So starting next week you'll probably want to change your profile name to "12 Finger Rage" or something like that... :doh:

If you merge enough tourists together fast enough, do you get tourist confusion?

I agree - you wouldn't get me anywhere near something that you can only look at for twenty seconds without damaging yourself! :laugh:

So you want to join the XMen at all cost? From one mutant to another: It usually is not worth it. What I got is absolutely useless.
I have lived with several Zen masters - all of them were cats. His last invention was an evil Lasagna. It didn't kill anyone, and it actually tasted pretty good.
