"The new mineral does not contain fluorine (which it does in the film) and is white rather than green but, in all other respects, the chemistry matches that for the rock containing kryptonite."

More like Kryptonite-light... Maybe closer to the Krypotnite that Richard Pryor made in Superman III (horrible flick)

Seeing as how it currently has limited effectiveness against him I'm sure he won't mind.

If Kryptonite really exists, then maybe superman exists somewhere else in the mine.

Whoa! way to send my world spinning

Well superman better get on the ball! He's got a lot of catchin up to do.

Interesting...and right around the time scientists discover an Earthlike planet orbiting a red sun...h'mmm...

nuts

Next we'll discover that our planet has a substance that can hard Daxamites!

Have you found the Wizard's key?

It would make since that if Kryponite exist,then their is a possiblilty Superman exist.I wouldn't rule it out!

Well, Whob told me all about it. And second hand knowledge is better than admitting that I've never read the bible, right?

Ya, reading the bible is enough to turn you away from religion.

Well, I've actually read the bible. I'm just pointing out the logical leap of the person who takes the bible literally.

I know... your point was not lost on me.

They discovered kryptonite? Excellent. Now no one can stop me!

Today, Superman. Tomorrow, the world!

He stole it in case Count Nefarious couldn't be defeated.

a common mistake one makes is taking everything the bible says literally.

The mineral cannot be called kryptonite under international nomenclature rules because it has nothing to do with krypton - a real element in the Periodic Table that takes the form of a gas.

Oh come on....surely they can bend the rules just this once?sadwalk

It's not just some random pedantic rule- it's there to avoid the mass confusion it would cause. Chances are the whole name 'krytponite' just came from someone picking that name from the periodic table. To actually then use such a fictional term in science as well would be stupid- it implies that it contains krypton, and for what possible scientific reason would we do that?

This whole issue is idiotic. WHY is this link to kryptonite being made? It;s hnot green., it doesnlt have one single property of the fictional substance. Is the entire justificaiton that it has a chemical formula similar to that used in a film prop in a film only released last year? That is the entire cultural and intellecutal weight behind saying "Yay, we found kryptonite!"?

That's pathetic. It's just a newly discovered material.

This agreeing with each other business gets scary.
