A trip through Chernobyl

Some of you may be too young to remember when the reactor in Chernobyl suffered a meltdown.

Here is an interesting, and sobering, website about the area.

Zoë: Shepard, isn't the Bible kind of specific about killing?
Book: Very specific. It is, however, somewhat fuzzy around the area of kneecaps.

Yeah, I would love to be able to ride around like that as well.  Unfortunately, Mrs. ZW doesn't like the idea of me on a motorcycle...yet.

cool site.  I did a search the other night on meltdowns (I was trying to figure out a good way of creating a logo for Meltdown 2004).  I came across a Wikipedia article on nuclear accidents:
