For the antimatter people, we're indeed the antimatter.

If you were made of antimatter, you wouldn't immediately disappear IIRC - only when you touch your realmatter self would you both disappear. Antimatter, like matter, is a specific kind of material. Anti-oxygen atoms wouldn't annihilate nitrogen atoms.

Since no-one has discovered true anti-matter, we're free to speculate. (On the other hand, negatively charged protons are another matter )

Yes they would.
Not 100% of course, but the electrons and positrons, protons and antiprotons would all pair off and annihilate.

You'd be left with an Antiproton, a Positron, and a handful of neutrons. And a whole lot of energy blasting out in the form of photons, pions and other debris.

Default Re: The Race to Insanity and Beyond!

Guess what! I finally figured out how to throw grenades! You pull out the grenade, like this, then you pull out the pin, like this and then you throw the grenade (Not the pin, that's very important), anBOOM!!!!

* And you should always make sure that you don't hold it for more than three seconds. Medic?

No, no, no. You're doing it all wrong. Here, give me that.

takes grenade from Narf

See? You have two guys take out the grenade on a pillow, pull out the cross, and then throw it at the bunny. Stand clear.

Oh, and if it doesn't sing "Halleluah" in the air, you probably forgot to pull out the cross.

Default Race to Insanity and Beyond!

Only 3 seconds? I seem to remember in some movie, the good guy and bad guy were tossing the grenade back and forth, back and forth, and finally it exploded when the bad guy caught it, but it seemed longer than three seconds. Or a grenade comes flying into the room through the window, and the people fumble around trying to grab it, and it's rolling around on the floor, and then the hero finally gets it, throws it out the window, and it explodes. That seemed more than three seconds, too.

I guess some grenades take more than 3 seconds to explode.

Those are movie grenades, they rely on pyrotechnicians for detonation, not fuses.
