"This is no fantasy, no careless product of wild imagination"

By Michael J.W. Stickings

Here's an interesting story:

It seems that researchers have discovered kryptonite -- or something very much like the fictional kryptonite of Superman fame -- in a Serbian mine. It's "white and harmless," not green and deadly to the Man of Steel -- one presumes. And it won't officially be called kryptonite, as there is already an element known as krypton. Instead, it will be called jadarite -- the mine where it was found is in Jadar.

"These are matters of undeniable fact." -- Jor-El, taken completely out of context.
