Editing Talk:1736: Manhattan Project

<!--Please sign your posts with ~~~~-->
The Manhattan Project employed up to 139,000 people, so it were not only the top minds, but a huge logistical effort. Sebastian --[[Special:Contributions/162.158.85.183|162.158.85.183]] 16:58, 21 September 2016 (UTC)
:But without the great minds, which also encompasses those who managed to get so many people working together on one project, but mainly the scientist, it would not have succeeded! --[[User:Kynde|Kynde]] ([[User talk:Kynde|talk]]) 19:18, 21 September 2016 (UTC) 

Maybe reference to "1217 - Cells" could be added. [[Special:Contributions/162.158.93.159|162.158.93.159]] 19:09, 21 September 2016 (UTC)--Dancsa
:Yes for sure, have added it - it is related to the title text --[[User:Kynde|Kynde]] ([[User talk:Kynde|talk]]) 19:18, 21 September 2016 (UTC)

Seems like Randall has been looking at [[1355: Airplane Message]]. The title text was also a fact in [[1732]] and this is the first cancer comic since that comic and also included text on a banner... ;-) Have added this on all three comics explanations --[[User:Kynde|Kynde]] ([[User talk:Kynde|talk]]) 19:38, 21 September 2016 (UTC)

Is there a need for a new category for Nuclear weapons? And should it then just be called that? --[[User:Kynde|Kynde]] ([[User talk:Kynde|talk]]) 20:16, 21 September 2016 (UTC)

This comic today could have been inspired by an announcement by Microsoft on 20 September 2016 that it will "Cure Cancer by treating it like a computer virus" Stories: [http://www.independent.co.uk/life-style/gadgets-and-tech/news/microsoft-cancer-cure-research-solved-machine-learning-cells-programming-diseases-a7317616.html independent.co.uk], [https://news.slashdot.org/story/16/09/20/2111240/microsoft-will-solve-cancer-within-the-next-10-years-by-treating-it-like-a-computer-virus-says-company?utm_source=rss0.9mainlinkanon&utm_medium=feed slashdot].   Also, on 21 September (the same day the comic was released), the Chan Zuckerberg foundation announced a $3 billion initiative to "cure all diseases" Story: [https://tech.slashdot.org/story/16/09/21/1958249/mark-zuckerberg-and-priscilla-chan-announce-3-billion-initiative-to-cure-all-diseases Slashdot]. Either or both of these could be considered Manhattan-like projects. --[[User:Johnm4|Johnm4]] ([[User talk:Johnm4|talk]]) 23:47, 21 September 2016 (UTC) 
:Thanks have included these news stories in the explanation. Feel free to do so another time :-) --[[User:Kynde|Kynde]] ([[User talk:Kynde|talk]]) 12:46, 22 September 2016 (UTC)

In my original google search link ([https://www.google.ca/webhp?sourceid=chrome-instant&ion=1&espv=2&ie=UTF-8#q=%22we+need+a+new+manhattan+project%22]) my point was to show multiple hits for people talking about a new Manhattan Project, for multiple different purposes.  It has been replaced with one single instance, which was not the intent. [[Special:Contributions/108.162.242.132|108.162.242.132]] 12:21, 22 September 2016 (UTC)
:We usually avoid google links as they can be different in different countries and will change over time. I have reverted again. If you think more of your Google hits are relevant then place a couple more as examples with direct links. --[[User:Kynde|Kynde]] ([[User talk:Kynde|talk]]) 12:46, 22 September 2016 (UTC)
::Fair enough.  I replaced with the direct links in my first page on google [[Special:Contributions/108.162.242.132|108.162.242.132]] 13:08, 22 September 2016 (UTC)
:::Maybe a bit over the top, but I will leave it to others to decide if a few could be trimmed away ;-) --[[User:Kynde|Kynde]] ([[User talk:Kynde|talk]]) 13:14, 22 September 2016 (UTC)
