   No, though close. "Antimatter" and "touchy", together, kinda spells B-O-O-M   
   better than anything else.   
      
   BTW, what's a peanut gallery question?   
      
   Anyway, what about cyclic O4? Should be far more stable, and cyclic O5   
   should be a little better, the bond angles are far more natural.   
      
   New allotropes are always fun. But not always real.
