That's some interesting stuff. I never knew that about speak of the devil, I've used that term my whole life. I did know about 4.5 pounds of sunlight. Imagine the sunburn you'd get if some one threw an ounce of sunlight at you....1 gram of sunlight has enough energy to burn an entire city to the ground.
