Taking a page out of Star Trek, the Air Force is working on anti matter weapons. The story appeared in this Sunday's SF Chronicle, but I couldn't find a link to it. Instead, I found this article which made reference to the Chronicle.
[Kenneth] Edwards said that when electrons or protons collide with their antimatter counterparts, they annihilate each other creating more than 10 billion times more bang than high explosive. Only 1/25th of an once would power 23 space shuttle fuel tanks of energy.
A speck of the stuff, a millionth of a gram could contain as much energy as 37.8 kilograms (83 pounds) of TNT.

"There is no creator" - the Dalai Lama. These are words of common sense, and it tells me that "spirituality" has nothing in particular to do with a belief in the supernatural. But then, those of us who grew up in the seventies watching "Kung Fu" already knew that being a vegan, atheist who follows the path of the buddha can reach enlightenment.
All kidding aside, what does a vegetarian atheist have to say? Stick around and you'll find out! Politically I'm rather liberal, but I do like to listen to staunch conservative talk show host Michael (the 'Whiner') Savage so I'll probably be mentioning him from time to time in my weblogs. So for now, how about some talk of broccoli, carrots and peas? Recipe's anyone??

"As mankind becomes more liberal, they will be more apt to allow that all those who conduct themselves as worthy members of the community are equally entitled to the protections of civil government. I hope ever to see America among the foremost nations of justice and liberality."
