   But if we remove Artie, what will we do here when Graham is in one of   
   his quiet phases?   
      
   To take the math a little further (thanks for the confirmation), the   
   Earth's mass is about 6x10^24 kilos, or 6x10^30 milligrams.  If each of   
   Artie's bombs had a mass of 1mg, together they would have the mass of   
   over 2x10^22 (20,000,000,000,000,000,000,000) Earths for each person on   
   Earth.  A proton has a mass of about 1.7x10-27 kilos, so Earth has a   
   mass of about 3.5x10^51.  Even if each of his bombs is the mass of a   
   single proton, the whole set would still be over a quarter billion times   
   the mass of the planet.   
      
   I have to wonder if Artie is even allowed access to dull scissors, much   
   less bombs.
