Atomic Playboy

Atomic Playboy

"I am not an atomic playboy" is a phrase attributed to Vice Admiral William H. P. Blandy while he was overseeing the Bikini Atoll atomic bomb tests.

Here is the complete quote:

"The bomb will not start a chain-reaction in the water converting it all to gas and letting 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."

Atomic Playboy may also refer to:

* "Atomic Playboys" (1989), the first album by guitar virtuoso Steve Stevens
* "Atomic Playboy" (1990), a track from the dancing video "Para Para Paradise 3"

See also

* "Second Reality", an influential demo by Future Crew, which quotes the phrase
