     Let's postulate an antimatter  girl.  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.
