If a nuke the size of Manhattan Island exploded how big would the explosion be? I watched the film Sunshine the other day and to re-ignite the sun they dropped a bomb the size of manhattan island into it.

This would have apparently made Europe uninhabitable. Surely a nuke with the mass of Manhattan Island (whatever that is) would obliterate a planet?

How to get rid of flies and bees attracted by euonymus manhattan? We have 4 to 5 euonymus manhattan planted right outside our front door. Needless to say, they attract flies and bees. It gets worse every year. We can no longer bear it when we see a cloud of flies flying outside our front door. We tried a couple cheap sprays from Home Depot and they didn't work at all. Then we talked to a local garden shop owner and he said he didn't have a good solution to help our problem. We are current using a third type of spray from concentrate to see if it works. (I forgot the name and will post it once I get home and find it.) Is there any way we can get rid of these insects while preserving the plants? Or do we have to kill the plants and plant something else? We don't know much about gardening to begin with, so a more elaborate answer will help a lot. Thanks in advance. Do we have to apply treatments every year? Or is it a one-time treatment?
