Now, according to Google the "mass of Earth = 5.9742 × 10^24 kilograms," or 1.3578 × 10^15 megatons (converted to english units). So if you took 7.3649 × 10^11 earth masses (that's 700 billion plus earth masses, not volumes) of dynamite, wired it all to detonate within a five-second window, and set if off, it would yield roughly the same amount of energy as one of these firecrackers.
So again, not the biggest bang, but I feel much safer knowing the above example is confined to a supercomputer and images.
