Chernobyl Becomes Tourist Hot Spot
prostoalex writes "18 years ago on April 26, the Chernobyl disaster occurred in Central Ukraine. Nowadays, as British Telegraph reports, the radioactive disaster area is becoming a tourist hot-spot with 3000 visitors paying $200 for a guided tour each year."
See subject. I'm sure that with as massive and widespread a radioactive material release as Chernobyl (800 millions becquerels) then the sites will be unsafe for more than just 18 years?

HEY! YANKEES!!! ME AGAIN!!! HEY, HUH-MEHR-UH-CAAAAHNS!!
CAN YOU SAY VIETNAM?? HELL, CAN ANY OF YOU SPELL VIETNAM??
The answer is no, which is why it is shortened to 'nam for clarity in the big explosions Rambo BOOM flicks. IT GOT SHORTENED BECAUSE WHENEVER RAMBO MENTIONED the Vietnam, the first syllable was cut off by someone screaming as they were shot by the RAMBO.
NEW SHOWING IN THE FALL, "RAMBO GOES TO FALLUJAH".
"We didn't make you this great fighting machine, Rambo. We just chipped off the rough edges. "SO GO SHOOT SOME CIVILIANS IN THE BACK!
THIS NEWS JUST IN: YOU STILL SUCK AT BEING IN IRAQ!!
In a random poll of major Islamic countries in the region, 96% said You "Sucked Much or Very Much" at fighting and 96% agreed with the statement "AMERICAN PUSSIES WILL CUT AND RUN WITHIN 6 MONTHS, OIL OR NO OIL." There was a 4% margin of the errors!
DOES ANYONE STILL REMEMBER AFGHANISTAN?? HEY! LISTEN: CAN ANYONE IN AMERICA EVEN REMEMBER AFGHANISTAN, NEVER MIND SPELLING IT. YES, IT'S SOMEWHERE IN INDIA, THE CURRY PLACE.
Military Expert: Of courses I remember!! I've got the inventory of bombs dropped right here. Didn't we invade Afghanistan to capture Saddam Hussein or something?
NO, MY FRIEND. YOU INVADED BECAUSE THE TALIBANS WERE CUTTING INTO CIA OPIUM POPPY PROFITS!!!
ONLY KIDDING. It was to to capture the Osama Bin Laden CIA agent man. WOO, DID YOU CHECK ALL THE CUPBOARDS IN THE KIDS BEDROOMS??? THAT'S THE USUAL HAUNT OF THE BOGEYMAN!!!
ITS TIME FOR ANOTHER AMENDMENT TO THE CONSTITUTION!!
People reading it keep making the basic mistakes. An asterix must be added in the phrase "We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men(*) are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness"
NEW AMENDMENT: *RICH CEO YANKS ONLY - NO FOREIGNERS.
CEOs are the new rockstars. They takes the drugs and breaks the laws and noone cares. Gordon the Gecko from the "Wall Street" film is in charge in America, yes?? He phones up the polices and shouts at them "I JUST STOLE TEN MILLION DOLLARS, OK?" And they say "YES SIR, THANK YOU." WE'LL PASS THE MESSAGE TO KPMG ON THE BATPHONE AGAIN!!
WOO! I CAN'T WAIT FOR THE 30TH JUNE TRANSFERS OF THE SOVEREIGNITY! IT WILL BE A SIGNIFICANT STEPS FORWARD FOR THE IRAQI PEOPLES!!
Instead of being run by a American employee like the Paul BREMNER ( I THOUGHT HE WAS A SATIRICAL IMPRESSIONIST ), they will at last be run by a set of American employees: the Provisional Authority. THAT WILL BE A SIGNIFICANT DIFFERENCE, MY FRIEND! No doubt peace will break out and all the clerics and bombers will dance hand in hand in a awe inspiring multi denominational spontaneous celebration.
THOSE GOOD OLD IRAQI BOYS ARE SURE GLAD SADDAM IS GONE!
Old MADMAN HUSSEIN may have been a 'brutal dictator'TM but at least his goons and torturers were up front about it! They didn't pretend to be concerned about the peoples welfare, then kill them and rob them of their oil. People look wistfully back to the time of Madman, at least he didn't throw mortar rounds at them and blow them up in helicoptors, snipe at them from a mile away when they go to the shops, or throw them in a cockroach palace on the Tigris or Cuba!! WE'RE JUST TAKING YOU GUYS TO CUBA FOR SOME FREE CIGARS!! WE'LL TAKE YOU TO AMERICA STRAIGHT AWAY AFTERWARDS, WHERE WE WILL GIVE YOU LEGAL REPRESENTATION AND GET THOSE MANACLES OFF, CROSS MY HEART.
SHARON'S ADVICE: REMEMBER THERE IS NOTHING QUITE SO PEACEFUL AS A DEAD BODY.
The Israeli government is committed t
I just want to know if a Beowolf cluster of these can run Linux, you insensitive clod!
