Re: sandbox: one of my classmates refused to participate in the jumping part of the Bundesjugendspiele in the Chernobyl year for that reason. She was the daughter of a teacher, and either for that reason or because the sports teachers agreed with her she got her wish, but the rest of us jumped into doom, as it were.

Watching War Games, and The Day After, on the other hand, did give me nightmares and had me convinced we would all die in a nuclear war, either by accident or in the real thing...
