I forget how many kilotons the Nagasaki bomb was....
It's in the Wikipedia article I linked to.
1 joule = 1 kg * (m² / s²), which matches the units of m × c².
All right, yes, date and shop and hang out and go to school and save the world from unspeakable demons. You know, I wanna do girlie stuff!

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

Tom's link says 21kt for Nagasaki so his 1/2 Nagasaki and my 10kt are the same answer.

Fat Man and Little Boy were in the 10-12 kiloton range, weren't they?
eta: Ah, perhaps that was a lowball estimate I heard somewhere.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Oh. I was just thinking the Nagasaki bomb was more powerful than that.
OK, all is well. You may all resume your non e=mc² activities....

I'm in the middle of a boring project, so I was hoping people would start talking more here to distract me.
Be careful what you wish for I guess.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
I have Bust a Move in my head and I don't know why.
You're welcome.

Luckily it's always the background singing from that song which earworms me, and I actually like that part.
