you were around, what -- a FOX news transmitter?... well,
you'd get more radiation, sitting so close to TV!... so,
anyway, check the UNSCEAR 2000 report; if
it had been redacted of the word, Chernobyl, you wouldn't know
that it was the same hyped-over area.

yes, the SU authorities mistakenly tried to cover it up,
such as they could for a while, and thus also failed
to distrbute the iodine tablet prophylactics for the possiblity
of Cesium-137 poisoning, but that is mostly ameliorated
by not drinking milk from grass-fed cows, for a number of months.

thus:
ah, yes; resistanceless!... so, for realism,
what'd be the minimum "boost," as the bobsledder
approacheth the antipode at sealevel, to get back
to the start?

I didn't think, though, that the brachistochrone/tautochrone
was cycloidal, but that roundtrip makes me wonder.
