For those we lost, We will not forget 09/11/2001 “Our God given unalienable rights are given to us all as individuals. They tell us what we may do for ourselves, and they are the embodiment of liberty. The so-called rights that government gives to some of us are parcelled out to select groups as classes. They tell us what one class of people may require another to do for them, and they are the very essence of slavery.”

Serbian miners discover kryptonite.

Fictional or not, Superman had better watch out. We all know that kryptonite doesn't harm Earthlings, but it does horrible things to Kal-el. According to the Associated Press, it can be found in Serbia:

LONDON (AP) — A mineral recently discovered in Serbia has the same composition as kryptonite — the fictional substance that robs Superman of his powers — the British Museum said Tuesday.

When I first read this, I wondered, "does that mean the recently discovered mineral is fictional too?"

"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," Stanley said.

I guess the British government had better put an around the clock alert out to keep Lex Luthor away from the Natural History Museum where they researched this mineral.

Sometimes truth is stranger than fiction. And sometimes they mesh in such interesting yet coincidental ways
