The picture you know of Che Guevara comes from Andy Warhol (the guy who made the campbells soup painting). One of Castro's crew, he didn't do a hell of a lot, though is famous for being a freedom fighter and revolutionist, even though his time in Bolivia says otherwise.

Off Che Guevara , does anyone know what will happen to Japan because of the plant thing blowing up?

 

[blues4flag]

Typing "what will happen to japen if the plant thing blows up" into Google and the first result is:

If the nuclear plant damaged by the Japan earthquake melts down, how would it affect the environment?
What would be the effects in the local region and other places in the Pacific, including the West Coast of the United States?

*Edited Question according to Andy Lemke's suggestion.

First, a bit of terminology: a nuclear reactor does not 'blow up'. Like a 3 year old child, it will have "a melt down".

I highly highly doubt this will happen with recent events, but to put things in perspective, the Chernobyl disaster spread radiation over most of Eastern Europe (including all of Germany and some of Italy). Also, with regard to radiation being spread - it is highly dependent on wind patterns over the area. I'm not sure how the plume would be carried by wind currents.

The reactor in Japan could not possibly have this type of effect because of the far superior design - a containment system which is used in the GE design and the many redundant controls which are in place. The reactors in Japan are at least an entire design generation more advanced than the Chernobyl type.

Blankets reduce airflow across your skin, reducing the amount of heat that is taken away by this process. Body hair works in a similar fashion. The air stays relatively still, so it's just warmed by your body and then sits there, keeping you warm in turn (instead of buggering off into the atmosphere).

Che Guevara was a Communist revolutionary. Of course, the nature of being a revolutionary meant he killed a lot of people, but as is the tendency of everyone, on any side of politics, icons are either romanticised or demonised. Guevara falls into the former category.

St. Paul was a Roman citizen by birth, I believe.

Which country, how did he die etc

 

[centrelink1]

Che was Cuban. Killed mostly Bolivians.

Cuba.

He was attempting to spread the word of communism in Bolivia and was captured and executed. You'll find a ton of info in the link above.

Peter...

Lol, my bad. I've been misreading things all day. That being the case, no idea.

Hmmm. Not what I was expecting.

He was Argentinian, but became involved in revolutionary causes in many South American countries, most famously Cuba. He was executed after being captured trying to invoke revolution in Bolivia. He is revered for his perceived moral motivations in trying to overthrow capitalism and create communist systems that assisted the less fortunate.

Probably a good thing they killed him then. I've never understood why people deify him.

You realise this in no way matches what you quoted, right?

 

[Allbetsroff]

Che was a dumb thug basically, nothing more.

 

[The Passenger]

Che was Cuban. Killed mostly Bolivians.

he was argentinian.

i've looked in to the che gueverra thing not too long ago and it basically seems to me people mainly like him for the fact he was a rebel.... but most (including myself) don't fully understand how they went about their business.

i've no doubt he is held in higher esteem because he was killed following what happened with cuban revolution and before the full effects of communism in the country were shown.

castro isn't held in very high esteem. why should gueverra be?? for one he wasn't part of the aftermath of what happened in the country. castro got corrupted by power (as happens in just about every system) and even though one dictatorship was overthrown, a completely new one was started.... you could probably argue castro was corrupt before he was in power anyway.... had che stayed, or returned, there's every chance he would have been too... there's also a chance he may have tried to fight the new system that was put in place.

as said i don't full understand it... i don't think many people do. and i think that graph up above sums it up very well.

How about this? Does this match what I quoted? Am I getting better? Am I doing it right?

Would love to know why the OP used Pregnancy as the prefix for this thread?

2. How did st peter end up in rome? (not sure if he did tbh)

Isn't the Vatican in Rome?

St Peter was Jesus' favourite and most prominent disciple, who was elected the first Pope. I guess because in those days, Rome was pretty much the centre of everything then it made sense for Peter to take residence and govern the Catholics from there.

That is my thought on it, anyway.

 

[YOTC]

St Peter was a rabbit. He merely hopped to Rome.
