Tourists have been going to Chernobyl for a while, and wildlife is flourishing. Tourists have been visiting Bikini Atoll for a while, and the Baker test of Operation Crossroads was very messy. To coin a phrase, life finds a way.

Heaven forbid the timid find out that their granite counter tops might emit gamma radiation, or contain uranium or thorium.

IIRC, there's Hepburnist in here somewhere.

This conversation. Look at the kid's face.

Now look at the baby!

King Crimson once had a great tune called Elephant Talk.

This isn't it, but it's extremely charming.

Kazakhstan has been holding a presidential election. It's not going as smoothly as the current government had hoped, although the outcome is pretty much a foregone conclusion.
