	Kiddult Fiction - The BFG
		My all-time favourite book is the BFG by Roald Dahl.The story is about a girl called Sophie, who has been taken out of her bed by the BFG big friendly giant.The BFG has lots of disgusting neighbours.
		The BFG's assertion that the north wind is alive, as are the dreams he collects, forced me to consider that my own world-view was informed by the things I read from a far earlier stage than I would have assumed before reading the book.
		One of the reasons that I chose the BFG, as opposed to 'The Witches', for example, was that I've had very little contact with the text since reading it as a boy.

	The BFG
		BFG: If you is really wanting to know what I am doing in your village, I is blowing a dream into the bedroom of those children.
		BFG: You is deaf as a dumpling compared with me! I is hearing the footsteps of a ladybug as she goes walking across a leaf.
		BFG: The matter with human beans is that they is absolutely refusing to believe in anything unless they is actually seeing it right in front of their own schnozzles.

	The BFG
		This BFG doesn't seem all that F at first as he creeps down a London street, snatches little Sophie out of her bed, and bounds away with her to giant land.
		BFG is a fantastic book that I would recommend for all ages.
		BFG stands for Big Friendly Giant, so he is not one of those human eating, bone crunching giants.

	ZOOM . reviews . The BFG \| PBS Kids
		I loved the BFG it was a good book it is about a girl who snattched from her room it was a good book you should read it because it is a good book.
		I think the BFG is a great book because it shows the nice and bad sides of gaints (and the discusting snozzcumbers, and the great tasting soda pop they have to eat).
		The BFG is great, I could read it 50 times in one day, but it's so long, and I read it for the first time at 9 or 10 I think and then I read it the second time in March of this year.

	BFG 9000 - Doom Wiki - a Wikia wiki (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-09)
		The BFG first appears in a secret area of E3M3: Pandemonium, and again in secret areas of three of the next four levels.
		As with the rocket launcher and chaingun, the full BFG sprite (after pickup) is slightly too large for the screen, and can only be viewed with a level or resource editor; the lower edge of the sprite includes a BFG logo.
		In older versions of Doom, the BFG was a "billion fireball gun": each shot released 40 small green and red fireballs which could bounce off ceilings and floors.

	BFG & TICK TESTS
		Vehicle owners have 30 days to register their vehicle with the BFG Licensing Office after they arrive in BFG and persons who buy a car from a German source must have it BFG registered in their name (or spouses name) before they are allowed to drive it.
		For BFG purposes certain UK companies are not willing to cover personnel living in Germany, therefore you will need to check with your BFG Clerk that your company is acceptable.
		To obtain a permit, a matrix test must be successfully taken and passed (serving personnel take this test through their MT department, dependants and civilian components through their BFG Office.) The only exception to this is a sponsored visitor who is in BFG for a period of not more than 28 days.

		BFG took Sophie from an orphanage because she saw him putting a long fl horn into the store owner’s kids’ window.
		All of the other giants eat humans so BFG had to hide her in his cave.
		The BFG was not like the rest of the giants because he was only about 25 feet tall and all the rest of the giants at least 50 feet tall and he was not mean like the rest of the giants.

		He's no guzzler of people (known in Giantspeak as "human beans"-- giants don't go to school and their grammer is somewhat lacking) but is rather a gentle soul who has a special trade to ply in the human world.
		There's only two small problems: the BFG lives in the land of giants where the other louts would only be too glad to guzzle her right up, and there's no food other than a strange, disgusting vegetable called a snozzcumber (it tastes like frog skins and dead fish).
		The Bfg is the funniest book i have ever read i hope almost every one reads this book because the way the Bfg talks and the expressions about the snozzcumber that it taste nasty...

	BFG Ageia PhysX Physics Card - HotHardware
		Removing the heatsink, we were pleased to find that BFG has done an excellent job of applying the proper amount of thermal paste and that the base of the heatsink was flat with no dead spots.
		Unfortunately, neither BFG nor Ageia have disclosed what frequency the PPU memory and core operate at, so we are unsure how close to the theoretical limit these components are running.
		We have been hearing rumors of PhysX card running memory at speeds over 700MHz, though these are obviously different cards than the BFG model seen here as the chips would be running in excess of 200MHz over their maximum rated operating frequency.

		The BFG stands 24 feet tall and strides around the streets at night, poking his long thin trumpet through the windows of children's bedrooms, and blowing lovely dreams at them while they sleep.
		The poor BFG has a hard time of it all around, because the only vegetable that grows in Giant Country is the horrid snozzcumber.
		But it isn't until the nasty giants go striding off to England to feast on school children, that Sophie and the BFG hatch their brilliant plan to put a stop to the butchery once and for all.

	The BFG by Roald Dahl - Book Review
		The BFG speaks most terrible wigglish -- after all, he has never been to school, and "sometimes is saying things a little squiggly." Everything he wants to say "is always getting squiff-squiddled around."
		You'll need that lack of inhibition when you get to the scene where Sophie and the BFG drink Frobscottle, a carbonated drink whose bubbles go down instead of up, resulting in, well, thunderous whizzpoppers.
		There he explains, in his strange and garbled English, that he was blowing dreams into the minds of children, and that the other giants who live in the desert -- and are twice his size -- eat children all over the world.

	The SF Site Featured Review: The BFG
		Though he doesn't plan to eat Sophie, the BFG is constrained by Giant etiquette to take Sophie back with him to Giant land because the little girl has seen him.
		So she manages to persuade the BFG -- who is a bit of misfit himself among Giants -- to help her convince no less a personage than the Queen of England on the need to forcibly convert the Giants to a sort of vegetarianism that is actually a punishment, not a healthier life style.
		As usual in Dahl territory, there is a precocious child smarter than the befuddled adults, as well as the underlying fairly tale themes of a lost child whose status as an outcast provides the necessary strength to overcome an ordeal.

	Amazon.ca: Roald Dahl's The BFG: Big Friendly Giant: DVD: Brian Cosgrove,Ballard Berkeley,David Jason,Angela ... (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-09)
		The particular giant who kidnaps her is the friendly one of the title: an elf-like creature who forces himself to eat foul-tasting cucumber-like things instead of children and spends his nights delivering good dreams to them.
		But the scariness of child-munching is more than offset by the dream-like quality of the land of the giants, the BFG's sing-songy mangling of the English language, and the heroic pairing of orphan and oversized sprite.
		The BFG is imaginative, scary, happy, heartwarming, joyous, and has terrific actors: David Jason is so superb as the giant that no-one can ever do better, and Amanda Root is charming and touching as Sophie.
