Sadly, that movie misrepresented the truth more than a little. The designers were Japanese, the Europeans were simply slave labour. There were heroes in the prison camps, but they weren't European bridge designers using the stupidity of the Japanese to slow the project. The heroes were the Eurpoean doctors who managed to keep people alive. Alive in a miserable hell, but many survived the war.
Okay, I can see that the article poster want to get people to read the article, but I can't see any reason to use the word "Perv-y" in this case. Oh, because the material's called perovskite oxide? That's lame.
If you're really sad enough to have to seek innuedos in such a way, then this text (from the other useful link out of the four included) "Specimens can remind one

will give nobody any trouble in permanently confusing the two." should provide more joy.
My understanding is that the film was to have been called "The Madness Of George" only US audiences might think it referred to Pres. G Bush. Sad, really.
No! Roll the certificate up, shove it down your trousers, and all the young ladies will think you're hung like a horse. Yes, it's true, having a degree (even CS!) turns you into a chick magnet.
Think of it this way: if someone made a mass mailing detailing human rights abuses in China, would you consider it spam?
That too is spam. I add the sender to my filters (for whaterver good that really does), and send a report to spamcop. Spam is spam. I don't like any of it.

Actually, I wouldn't mind if they did that. At least then I'd have a chance of shooting the bastards.
why not let the FBI look though your wifes underwear drawer?
Well, I do, for a decent fee. For my better customers (no drooling over the items therein, no sticky fingers), I try to ensure there's an occasional racy lace item or two.
*Possible* does not mean *technically possible*, it actually means *feasible*, *commerically realistic*
Okay, if you get kicks from changing the meanings of words, go ahead and do it. Don't expect other people to bother reading what you say unless you adhere to the conventions they use.
