Fool Get A Clue

Okay. Picture of Chernobyl. We can all agree on that.

Now question: What are those weird, ginormous, Star Trek-ian flower things over on the right hand side of the picture? Are they actual plants? Bizarre radioactive mutations? Secret weapons? Should we all be concerned? Should I be taking NOTES?

Like the drawings on the building walls don't freak me out as it is.
