Is The Alias Fat Man Justified ?

[petrushkagoogol]

Was the alias "Fat Man" used to denote the atomic bomb dropped on Nagasaki justified (even before it was used) ? I say Yea.

 

Here is the proof :

 

* Fat means more adipose tissue for the same sex and height

* This leads to more body weight

* Weight = mass * acceleration due to gravity

* This implies that Fat is proportional to mass

* More mass means more energy (From Einstein : E = mc^2)

* More energy means more destructive power

* This means a more destrucive weapon (than Little Boy)

 

QED

 

P.S. Thank God they did not call it "Corpulent Man", or some such. That would be slightly awkward.
