I've just stuck this on my blog. Hope that's OK. I love it, and I've included a link to here.

Uhm... not that funny actually. Chernobyl was a horrible tragedy.

PS- I love you, Kelly!

Obviously, you're not familiar with the formula of tragedy × time = humor. Think of the Hindenburg, or how much fun it is to make fun of the famous Winslet & DiCaprio vehicle (which shall go unnamed).

Why, only a few years ago AIDS was horrifying. Now? Hilarious. Give it time. You'll all laugh in the end.
