Question: How do we get this girl into an environment where a matter boy can possibly kiss her without liberating that 1.22E28 watts in the process (through contact with air, floor, etc)? Remember, it doesn't take a duplicate of a molecule to explode this way. Each particle will go as soon as it touches its antiparticle -- and there are plenty of anti-{electron, proton, neutron, etc}s making up our whole environment. Quite a power source, yes. As I recall, a few pounds of antimatter was enough to run the USS Enterprise, which must draw quite a lot of juice. -- der Mouse System hacker and general troublemaker CVaRL, McGill University Hacker: One responsible for destroying / Wizard: One responsible for recovering it afterward
