#1 I'm sure the Jerusalem Post is the only place you'll read this.

#2 Being American, I have no idea whether a 10-kilogram bomb is really big or really small. Maybe it's better that way!

#5 Best way to roughly figure pounds from kiligrammes is to multiply by two, and add ten percent.

#9 Any chance the "controlled explosion" took place in the middle of Gaza?

Yeah, I didn't think so, either.

#10 It's not the size so much as the kind of explosive. Twenty-two pounds of gunpowder will make a boom, but won't do much more than dig a ten-foot diameter hole. Twenty-two pounds of Semtex or RDX will blow a hole about 60 feet in diameter. I doubt the paleos were using gunpowder.
