This has made me LOL a lot today, and was clearly written by someone both intelligent and probably hot too.
The whole 'we've found kryptoinite!" thing though, seriously. It's not, is it? It's a substance with the same molecular composition as the FICTIONAL rock had, which it was probably given because nothing with that composition had been found yet. I love that one scientist has had to state "I'm afraid it's not green and it doesn't glow either - although it will react to ultraviolet light by fluorescing a pinkish-orange," because no doubt, someone would have thought it really was kryptonite. And it doesn't even contain Flourine, which the rock in the film did.
Well, whatever it takes to get the British public interested in science, I suppose. I'm probably just being a boring science undergrad who doesn't like anyone enjoying something that I think only people with years of education can understand. Yet, I constantly bemoan the lack of science education and understanding in thie country. Can you spell hypocrite? (I can't, I had to use spellcheck)
