*Originally posted by Q.E.D. *mea culpa . Mixed up cgs with mks units. It’s actually about 35,000,000,000 BTU. Which is still not quite at Hiroshima atom bomb levels, being low by an order of magnitude. **
QED, should there be still one more order of magnitude?
5g --> 4.5e+14 Joules (not ergs) --> 4.3e+11 BTU --> 107,600 ton of TNT

From http://mothra.rerf.or.jp/ENG/A-bomb/History/Damages.html , the size of the Hiroshima bomb was only 12,500 ton of TNT.
Looks like a decent sized fart has “enough energy to create” a small, modern nuke-ular bomb.
based on what i’ve learned here today i think i know some people who are amongst the asses of evil, and should be very afraid of duh!-ble-u launching an anal invasion in search of some wmd’s.
sorry
