	Man or boy test - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The man or boy test was proposed by computer scientist Donald Knuth as a means of evaluating implementations of the ALGOL programming language.
		The aim of the test was to separate compilers that correctly implemented scoping and call by name (the "men") from those that did not (the "boys").

	Fat Man - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Numerous detonators located on the surface of the high explosive were fired simultaneously to produce a powerful inward pressure on the core, squeezing it and increasing its density, resulting in a supercritical condition and a nuclear explosion.
		Because of the presence of the isotope Pu-240, reactor-bred plutonium had a much higher rate of spontaneous neutron emission than was previously thought, and if a gun-type device was used it would most likely pre-detonate and result in a messy and costly "fizzle".
		It was eventually re-worked in the MK 4 Fat Man bomb, which was similar in principle but was appropriate for long-term stockpiling and use by non-experts, and used a more efficient implosion system (with a 60-point implosion system, compared to the 32-point weapon used in the war).

	Man sues over boy that was not his son (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-03)
		The man's solicitor, now his wife, said he was claiming up to £250,000, to cover the cost of maintaining his former partner and her son, now 12, plus interest and an unquantified sum for emotional distress.
		His solicitor said he began to suspect the boy was not his because as he grew older he looked less like the man. In 1996, after the couple had parted, the man had an "unofficial" DNA test on a hair follicle from the boy and discovered he was not his son.
		Lawyers for the boy's mother had argued that civil actions for deceit or fraud could not be brought in the context of cohabitation or marriage.

	Man beats boy over snowball, city cops say
		The kids were chucking snowballs at cars and the man told the 11-year-old boy not to throw another one at the cars or "he was going to beat him," according to police reports.
		The boy then picked up some snow and threw it at the man. The man took off his belt, chased the kid, then started hitting the boy in the face with the strap, police said.
		The boy's mother saw the whole thing happen from a third-floor apartment and shouted down to the man that she was going to call the cops.

	Boy (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-03)
		As boys physically have certain things in common with women (the smooth skin, the red lips and rosy cheeks, the rounded forms, the brilliant hair), adult heterophile men, when no women or girls are available, will tend to find greater sexual satisfactions with a substitute boy than with a substitute man.
		Where it is adapted to the boy's phase of development, the casual meeting may mostly pass by as an incident of little importance, a variation on the routine of masturbation.
		If the man takes pleasure in sharing his enthusiasms with his young lover, the boy himself may develop interests in culture, science and technology, learn to appreciate good music and art and so receive a kind of supplemental education he never would, have got at school or in his parental home.

	freedomforum.org: High court to test Boy Scouts' claim of First Amendment right to exclude gays
		The Boy Scouts of America were in the same category, the New Jersey court said, and the U.S. Supreme Court may find it difficult to disagree, though the Rotary Club and the Jaycees have somewhat different characteristics from the Boy Scouts.
		Likewise, if the Boy Scouts can convince the court that it too has a specific message that would be spoiled by the inclusion of a gay member or leader, the court could rule that the exclusion of Dale is constitutionally protected.
		"Boy scouting is an expressive organization with the purpose of instilling in boys and young men certain ideals of what it means to be a man," the Boy Scouts' brief contends.

	Opinions 60 - Comics Reality Checks II: The Bouncing Boy Test (Sep 2001) (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-03)
		Whether observers of the medium recognize it or not, then, Bouncing Boy acted as a kind of Soul of Comics, and readers, sometimes, could note the loss of this soul in works after Bates and Cockrum decided to evict this character from his role in the Legion of Super-Heroes franchise.
		Bouncing Boy would have pulled his human super ball stunt, knocked Ozymandias flat (either before or after he became the murderer of millions), and led him away to justice at the end of a chain, perhaps to appear in some future story involving a jailbreak of super-criminals.
		In other words, the notion that man occupies a meaningless and helpless place in a universe dedicated (through processes such as entropy, but including anything handy) to his destruction and immiseration serves quite as well as a lame cliche and a shortcut for lazy creators.

		The bones were flened by a reaction of the iron that is in the water with the tannin in the bark of the (tree trunk) coffin, giving the skeleton its distinctive appearance today.
		The Bronze Age man is thought to have come from a wealthy background, as it was rare for someone to be buried in a tree trunk coffin and he was also almost 6ft tall - indicating that he had a good diet.

	Little Boy and Fat Man \| Photographs \| Media Gallery \| atomicarchive.com
		In essence, the Little Boy design consisted of a gun that fired one mass of uranium 235 at another mass of uranium 235, thus creating a supercritical mass.
		Once the two pieces of uranium are brought together, the initiator introduces a burst of neutrons and the chain reaction begins, continuing until the energy released becomes so great that the bomb simply blows itself apart.
		As the plutonium was produced in the nuclear reactors at Hanford, Washington, it was discovered that the plutonium was not as pure as the initial samples from Lawrence's Radiation Laboratory.

	deseretnews.com - Movie review: Fat Man and Little Boy \| Deseret Morning News Web edition
		That wouldn't matter, of course, if "Fat Man and Little Boy" were a knockout movie, and the audience has every right to expect that, given the star power (Paul Newman), co-writer/director (Roland Joffe, "The Killing Fields"), cinematographer (Vilmos Zsigmond, "Close Encounters"), etc., attached to the project.
		Newman is Gen. Leslie Groves, the man chosen to pick the scientist to head up the $2 billion Manhattan Project — and he, of course, picks Oppenheimer (Dwight Schultz).
		Joffe directs his story as sort of organized chaos, both the events that surround the scientists and the life they are forced to lead for two years — and even in the shape of the film.

	The First Atomic Weapons
		Concurrent with the preparations for the Trinity test, preparations were being made for the delivery of operational atomic weapons to Tinian Island in the Pacific for use against Japan at the earliest possible date.
		Another Little Boy weapon would not have been ready for months, for this reason only one Little Boy unit was prepared.
		In contrast many Fat Man bomb assemblies were on hand (without plutonium), and the actual "Fat Man bomb" delivered against Japan only existed when assembly of the Fat Man unit with the plutonium core was completed shortly before the mission.

	Los Alamos National Laboratory: History: Building the Atomic Bomb: Little Boy and Fat Man
		Emilio Segre discovered in the spring of 1944 that light element impurities in plutonium, which could not be eradicated, would cause a premature, low-order detonation of a plutonium gun bomb - a fizzle.
		This new plutonium bomb, called Fat Man, was such a radical departure from established technology that doubts about its success made necessary the test, codenamed Trinity, conducted in July 1945.
		Little Boy exploded over Hiroshima with a force of approximately fourteen kilotons on August 6, 1945.

	America in WWII: Little Boy and Fat Man
		Seventeen-year-old Sumiko Koide was carrying her baby sister in the alley next to her parents' house on August 6, 1945, when the world changed forever.
		Not all the scientists who helped figure out how to crack the atom to its heart and release the power that ultimately flattened Hiroshima were comfortable with the practical application of their work.
		At the first-ever atomic bomb test, in the American desert in July 1945, he reflected grimly, "I have become Death; the destroyer of worlds." In the years after the war, his vocal concerns over the dangers of nuclear weapons would prompt critics to accuse him of having communist sympathies.

	The DVD Journal \| Quick Reviews: Fat Man and Little Boy
		From the very get-go Fat Man and Little Boy is marred by a horrific miscalculation of tone, unfortunately comic in its overproduced recreation of the 1940s.
		The climactic sequence of Oppenheimer feeling the awesome power of his efforts during a test detonation is rendered impotent by bizarre over-stylization (does a mushroom cloud need stylistic augmentation for effect?).
		Fat Man and Little Boy is released by Paramount in a no-frills, occasionally grainy anamorphic transfer (2.35:1) with both Dolby Digital 5.1 and Dolby 2.0 Surround audio tracks.

	Section 8.0 The First Nuclear Weapons
		Gadget was an experimental test version of the implosion system used in Fat Man. A test of the implosion bomb was considered essential due to the newness of the explosive wave shaping technology, and the complexity of the system.
		The test of the first atomic explosion in history was conducted at the Jornada del Muerto trail (Journey of Death) at the Alamagordo Bombing Range in New Mexico at 33 deg.
		Prior to test, Mike's yield was estimated at 1-10 megatons, with a most likely yield of 5 Mt, but with a remote possibility of yields in the range of 50-90 Mt. The principal uncertainties here would have been the efficiency of the fusion burn, and the efficiency with which the tamper captured neutrons.

	SparkNotes: J. Robert Oppenheimer: Fat Man and Little Boy
		Little Boy, the U-235 bomb, had the simpler design of the two, and the physicists were certain that it would work.
		In the Fat Man bomb, a subcritical sphere of plutonium is surrounded by explosives, and when the explosives fire, a shock wave compresses the plutonium into a critical mass, setting off a nuclear reaction.
		As the scientists were celebrating their breakthrough, foremost in their mind was the thought that they had done it, they had beaten Germany to the creation of the bomb.

		Because "Fat Man and Little Boy" focuses on the development of both the implosion and explosion models for triggering a nuclear chain reaction, the movie can supplement lessons about fission, fusion, supercritical mass, chain reaction, and other aspects of subatomic physics.
		Moreover, in the postwar tests of strength and resolve that were already occurring in Europe, the U.S. would gain substantial strategic advantages if the Russians knew that the U.S. had an atomic bomb and the will to use it.
		Though "Fat Man and Little Boy" is centered at Los Alamos, the most demanding part of Groves' job was to provide the uranium and plutonium that went into the bombs.

		Fat Man and Little Boy is most effective when it gets away from the esoteric details about nuclear physics and gets into the political infighting and subterfuges which Groves resorted to in order to keep his eccentric civilian scientists in line and get the job done.
		Imperious enough to attempt to command the weather, Groves orders the test to proceed even as a violent electrical storm is sweeping over the Jornado del Muerte.
		Lacking in dramatic impact and restrained from glamorous pyrotechnics, Fat Man and Little Boy is still a riveting portrayal of the man who let the nuclear genie out of the bottle.

	IGN: Spider-Man: The Movie Review
		As of this writing the movie hasn't hit the theaters yet, but it's a good bet that the Game Boy Advance plot only loosely follows the film's storyline; the GBA game doesn't do the "secret origins" thing at the beginning of the adventure like the console editions do.
		It's a decent test for what a Spider-Man game can end up being on the GBA in the future...but as of right now it's good that it was used strictly as an extra.
		These snapshot triggers are in specific areas, some more hidden than others...this encourages a bit of exploration for levels that you've already finished, but for some reason, during the current game you cannot go back to levels that you've already completed.
