25 Years ago Chernobyl was headline news. On April 26th 1986 at 1:23 A.M. reactor number four at the Chernobyl nuclear power plant, near the town of Pripyat, ruptured a vessel during several extreme power spikes. Several explosions followed and these caused the graphite moderator components of the reactor to be exposed to air, setting them on fire. The fire sent a plume of radioactive fallout into the atmosphere. It drifted over large parts of the Sovjet Union and Western Europe. 50 People died as a direct result of the disaster and it is thought up to 4000 people have died as a result of being exposed to the radioactive materials which entered the atmosphere.
A ghost town is an abandoned village , town or city . A town often becomes a ghost town because the economic activity that supported it has failed, or due to natural or human-caused disasters such as floods, government actions, uncontrolled lawlessness, war, or nuclear disasters. The term is sometimes used to refer to cities, towns, and neighborhoods which are still populated, but significantly less so than in years past. Some ghost towns are tourist attractions: Barkerville, British Columbia ; Bannack, Montana ; Calico, California ; Elizabeth Bay, Namibia ; Pripyat, Ukraine ; Kolmanskop, Namibia ; and Oatman, Arizona among them. This is especially true of those that preserve period-specific architecture.
People generally place the natural world in high esteem. Property values are high near parks. “Getting back to nature” is considered a good thing. Even our screensavers and desktop backgrounds show vistas of rolling hills, sunshine or the aurora borealis. But we usually gloss over the fact that while Mother Nature is normally a very sweet lady, she can sometimes go off the deep and blow your mind … or ruin your shit, as evidenced by this nonet of natural madness.

The coolest thing about the Thing is that everyone responds to seeing it by asking questions. Where did I find it? Is it an internal organ? Is it some sort of fetus? Would it go well with pasta? Usually when I make a Thing in a Jar, I try to keep the shape ambiguous enough so that the viewer cannot really pin down exactly what they're looking at.

Before I start on the list, I feel that I should advise that a couple of the items here are quite horrific and I would recommend that those who are weak of heart or who have a nervous disposition avoid them. The items I am referring to are marked in the text. The items are not in any particular order as it is very hard to rate the historical importance versus the just plain weird value. The Castrati were men who were forcibly castrated at an early age in order to ensure that they would not experience the hormonal changes of puberty that lead to the lowering of the male voice. This meant that as adult men they sang like a modern soprano (they retained their boy soprano voices). After the Catholic Church ensured that all nations banned the practise, Pope Leo XIII took the remaining Castrati into the care of the Sistine Chapel Choir to guarantee them a quiet life (at the time they had become the subject of ridicule).
The Principality of Sealand is an unrecognized entity, located on HM Fort Roughs , a former World War II Maunsell Sea Fort in the North Sea 10 km (six miles) off the coast of Suffolk , England , United Kingdom . [ 6 ] [ 8 ] Since 1967, the facility has been occupied by the former British Major Paddy Roy Bates ; his associates and family claim that it is an independent sovereign state . [ 6 ] While it has been described as the world's smallest nation, [ 9 ] or a micronation , [ 10 ] Sealand is not currently officially recognised by any established sovereign state . Although Roy Bates claims it is de facto recognised by Germany as they have sent a diplomat to the micronation, and by the United Kingdom after an English court ruled it did not have jurisdiction over Sealand, [ 6 ] neither action constitutes de jure recognition as far as the respective countries are concerned.
[Image: What is it? Who knows. Though, as Mervyn Peake describes the buildings of Gormenghast : "Standing immobile throughout the day, these vivid objects, with their fantastic shadows on the wall behind them shifting and elongating hour by hour with the sun's rotation, exuded a kind of darkness for all their color."
