Holy Batman!!....er....Superman!!


A new mineral found in Serbia shares virtually the same chemical composition as the fictional "Kryptonite" from the Superman series!

Real Kryptonite is white and powdery

The fictional Kryptonite is green and glows.....giving Superman a tough time.

Scientists discovered the match after Googling its chemical formula-sodium lithium boron silicate hydroxide.


The problem is that the Jadarite (its current nomenclature) is not green and does not glow. Rather, it is white and powdery instead.

Thanks for all of the information. On a side note, how do you deal with all the spam you get on your weblog? My new weblog is getting destroyed by random spammers and I've been spending loads of time and power deleting comments its merely not funny. . I get so drained preventing spam that I feed I ought to stop operating a weblog entirely.
