Back in April, BBC Science News reported that scientists have discovered real kryptonite. Okay, it's white rather than green, doesn't glow, and seems to be harmless. But check out this quote from Dr. Stanley: "Towards the end of my research I searched the web using the mineral's chemical formula - sodium lithium boron silicate hydroxide - and was amazed to discover that same scientific name, written on a case of rock containing kryptonite stolen by Lex Luthor from a museum in the film Superman Returns.

"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."

I guess all the supervillains have used up most of the green and red kryptonite by now. I wonder what white kryptonite does to Superman?

In other news, Wankers for Ignorance is at it again. This time, they're targeting companies that use Google ads. I'm sure the Google staff heard about the previous incident, and I hope they're able to explain to any customers who want to pull their ads that WFI is not necessarily telling a straight story.
