[ WP ] The real reason why they were called Fat man and Little boy

Thousands had died, all due to these two. 
 
 People proclaimed Oppenheimer was a genius, but he just took what was already there and made it lethal. 
 He was more a torturer than a scientist. 
 
 Years were spent in research, millions of dollars spent, to no avail. But the Germans held the key, and if we were bold enough, we could use it to open the door. 
 But the price....the price. 
 
 How many died during the testing? How many have died since? Each and every weapon named, so not to be mistaken with another, but stripped of its identity. 
 
 The power! Who knew? We certainly had no idea, but we were thrilled by it, and scared of it. 
 The real hero's are the crew on the Enola Gay. To do as they did, to take the first step. 
 To spend hours in flight, all the while ignoring the screams from inside the metal sarcophagi. 
 The Fat Man, and the Little Boy. 
 
 They were stripped of their names, but we gave them replacements.
