My handle comes from a quote from Vice Admiral William H. P. Blandy while attempting to assuage public fears about the atomic bomb during the early days of testing:
I found the phrase humorous. Still do. Although I am confused as to why the hell anyone would ever deny being an atomic playboy. That's the most awesome thing a critic could call you.The bomb will not start a chain-reaction in the water converting it all to gas and letting all the ships on all the oceans drop down to the bottom. It will not blow out the bottom of the sea and let all the water run down the hole. It will not destroy gravity. I am not an atomic playboy, as one of my critics labeled me, exploding these bombs to satisfy my personal whim.
