When I finally talked to my mom about the whole "how is everybody related" thing....

She mentioned somebody I couldn't remember ever hearing about. This is apparently because he died. Of cancer. Just like everybody else in the family (except those who had cancer and didn't die). According to mommy, this just started happening after Chernobyl.

If I'm reading this map correctly, Chernobyl is over 1200 miles away from Belgium. This is how far the effects went? Scary, no?

you could still use them for wool. i imagine thats about it. chernobyl was a terrible terrible event. it had and still does have worldwide impact and will for the next 6 centuries at least. you might want to go here for an awesome website:

something like 100,000 people have died due to direct effects of chernobyl, and i haveheard as much as 12 million due to indirect effects. if that stone sarcophagus breaks, it will be bad once again, and i can see thousands more getting sick and dieing once again. chernobyl means wormwood incidentally.
