    If you had a pound of "dark matter" in your living room you wouldn't even notice it because the air would rush in and replace its relative vacuum (well, you'd probably notice some interesting annihilative effects from the antiprotons and such).

(Note: This would be some non-trivial fraction of the strength of the most powerful bomb the US has ever detonated )

No mention of the relative proportion of anti-matter at all on there, how will I be able to calculate the theoretical number of nukes in space now!?

Don't feel bad. I've got a friend who's been working on dark matter for 20 years and he doesn't know either.
