Atomic

I've come to the realization that I'm in love with the word ATOMIC. I'm in school for nuclear medicine and hear "nuke" this "radioactive" that all day long. But once in a while we get to use the word atomic which for some reason makes me feel warm and fuzzy inside. Perhaps because its not as foreboding as the other words. I think of how the word was probably taken 50+ years ago when an "atomic bomb" was dropped on Japan, and the cold war probably had lots of of uses for the word, "atomic" probably wasn't as happy of a word. Heck, even the Atomic Energy Commission is defunct dude to bad press and being accused of being to lax and was replaced by the NRC (Nuclear Regulatory Commission). However, here in the 21st its much simpler and fun. I did a google search and these pictures come up. Some are fun, some aren't, but even the ones that are dismal still aren't as harsh as the nuclear equivalent.
