^'d like to find out, is how bright would we glow, what colors
  would come out of us ('cause different chemicals glow different
  colors), how hot would we be, and on a destructive note, how
  many nuclear bombs would we be worth and how much area would one
  of us destroy in the process of converting suddenly into pure
  energy.

  Somebody must have thought up this question and come up with an
  answer - I think in pictures - and there's something powerful
  about knowing that, given a different circumstance (say, I'm
  suddenly a SUN), how bright would I be, what kind of supernova
  would my explosion produce.

  Any aspiring physicists/mathmaticians/chemists/graphic
  artists/video makers want to tackle this one?^
