well, my memory from un club says that the entire world's arsenal of nuclear weapons is at least 45 000 megatons, but no more than 75 000 megatons. that's just warheads, though. if you were to explode the whole weapon, there's an awful lot of propellant and primer that's gonna blow, too. i'd guesstimate you could factor in around 10 000 megatons for that alone. i'm enjoying this thread. for some reason, i've been reading a lot of physics lately. although last night i bought _and the ass saw the angel_. how is it, rosso? * #### a disturbance in a system. #### laerm. @voicenet.com #### one time and you're a philosopher; two times and you're a pervert.
