This one didn't trick me.

It's just like when I come home from a long night out and try to hit the keyhole with (hopefully) the right key.

Just close your left eye and everything is as clear as a dream!

Chernobyl is Russian for "wormwood" and in the bible it says that during the apocalypse that wormwood will fall from the sky!!

I believed the same thing (from some dialogue in Mike Leigh's 'Naked'), so decided to look it up..

Name origin
The city is named after the chornobyl' grass, or mugwort. The word itself is a combination of chornyi (чорний, black) and byllia (билля, grass blades or stalks), hence it literally means black grass or black stalks.

Sometimes it is erroneously translated as wormwood (Artemisia absinthium), with consequent apocalyptic associations, probably originating from a New York Times article by Serge Schmemann, Chernobyl Fallout: Apocalyptic Tale, July 25, 1986. There, an unnamed "prominent Russian writer" was quoted as claiming the Ukrainian word for wormwood was chernobyl.

The Ukrainian Чорнобиль (chornobyl) refers to the plant mugwort (Artemisia vulgaris). Wormwood is a different (but related) plant, Artemisia absinthium, Полин (Polyn). "Polyn" has no English equivalent, but corresponds to the botanical genus Artemisia. Botanically, mugwort is "Common Polyn" (Ukr. Полин звичайний); while wormwood is "Bitter Polyn" (Ukr. Полин гіркий).

Chernobyl bears poetic connotations in folklore, for a number of reasons. Various species of Artemisia are common in steppes, and its strong smell is an often token of steppe. Also, Chernobyl roots were used in folk medicine to heal neurotic conditions, but its overdose could lead to psychical distress, including memory loss.
