                has announced plans to open Chernobyl,

                their nuclear disaster site, to tourists.

                They say it’ll be just like Disneyland,

                except the 6-foot mouse is real.

                in the stuck elevator, I began to worry that the 

                stale air supply was taking its toll. I mean. There 

                are only so many replays of “Even the Nights Are 

                Better” and “I’m All Out of Love” a man can take.
