Chernobyl

bethbethbeth is doing a poll on fannish 'shared culture.' She has lots of answers from due South and Harry Potter fandoms and is looking for more diversity. If your primary fandom isn't DS or HP and you'd like to share information with her, go to: http://www.livejournal.com/users/bethbethbeth/178739.html.

In a more sober vein, today is the 19th anniversary of the disaster at Chernobyl. Last year around this time, I linked to Elena from Kiev's website about Chernobyl, and I think it's appropriate to do so again today. Her Chernobyl page is here, and it's worth going through the entire thing and seeing what we humans are capable of doing to ourselves.

You're welcome, and yeah. Pretty scary. It seems like it was yesterday. And in terms of radioactivity half-life, it was.
