Little Boy...

On the morning of August 6, 1945 the United States Army Air Forces dropped the nuclear weapon "Little Boy" on the city of Hiroshima, followed three days later by the detonation of the "Fat Man" bomb over Nagasaki, Japan.

It's a Dr. Strangelove World after all

1. The best line in that movie: "Gentlemen, you can't fight in here. This is the War Room!"
2. Toured Australia for two weeks with three college friends in 1993 (none are Contributors here...yet). We went on this organized two day camping outing with a large group in what's called The Center, the barren middle part of the land Down Under. Main attraction: Ayers Rock (aka Uluru). We camped out the night before under the stars and climbed The Rock early the next morning. There were two, rather sweet, Japanese girls that were part of this group. They spoke very broken English, were quick to smile and giggled a lot. We soon forgot their names so, in private, we referred to them as Hiroshima and Nagasaki. While climbing along the chain rope positioned on the 60 degree incline of Uluru that morning we passed the two, who had started up earlier. I turned back to them and exclaimed "Just like Mount Fuji!" They laughed. I wish we had taken a picture of them.
