Quiz & Paperwork
In what country did the largest industrial accident happen in 1984?
It is widely regarded as the largest industrial accident ever. The answer will be at the bottom of this post, in the form of a link.
Yesterday, I participated in the Pub Quiz at O'Reilly's Irish Pub yesterday with Beau, Stephanie, Matt, and Natalya. It was pretty easy for us, except for the above question. There was one that had a medley of 7 songs that were just a snippet of theme songs from 70s TV shows and movies. We missed one from a German TV show and we missed The Streets of San Francisco, but we got The Godfather, Superman, The Six Million Dollar Man (thanks to Beau), Jaws, & Star Wars. By the way, the one country that has no exports in Europe is Monaco.
Wedding Paperwork
Also, yesterday Natalya & I went on a paperwork hunt for some stamps & seals. We had to get notarized and get an Apostille for my document saying that I am free to marry. Now we just have to get that translated into Russian (the translator is working on that right now) and we'll be all set! Well, we hope we will be. Everybody pray that all our paperwork gets accepted by the authorities in Kazakhstan and we come home with a legal marriage certificate that we can use here in Germany as well. I think we'll have to get an Apostille while in Kazakhstan for our marriage certificate. No problem!

Don't let the picture fool you, it wasn't USSR or even Ukraine. The Chernobyl disaster happened in 1986, and has approx. 4,100 deaths attributed to it. This disaster happened two years earlier and has more than three times the number of deaths Chernobyl has attributed to it, and I don't remember hearing about it. I definitely remember hearing about Chernobyl, though.
