Default Interesting Article about Chernobyl.. T2K application?

Appears that the wolves who have lived around Chernobyl have developed a resistance to cancer….

I love reading and watching anything about Chernobyl. I remember watching and living it all in real time. And to still be mesmerised by it now, all these years later, is unbelievable.

The pictures of old Chernobyl look like grainy kodak moment photos. A bit like the pictures inside my head look now-a-days from back then!

the new photos i could study for hours in their razor sharp detail, but imagining what it must of all been like before the explosion, after the event and even what it must be like their today.

Great little article. I wonder if its the "pendulum" affect (I just made that up). The wolves bodies overcompensate "something" due to the high radiation, and end up immune to cancer. I wonder if they are suffering from some other effect not yet identified (as the pendulum overcompensates as it swings back the other way).

I think that Chernobyl lends itself to games that aren't as "realistic" as T2k. I played in a couple of STALKER inspired message based RPGs on RPOL and the mysterious elements of weird stuff around Chernobyl work well in that kind of setting, in my opinion.
