The mineral cannot be called kryptonite under international nomenclature rules because it has nothing to do with krypton...
Aw come on, can't they bend the rules just this once?

You know how Geology Fanboys are. Probably have their own forums....


"I think we should call it kryptonite, in honor of Superman."

"Dude, it's not a mineral - it's sedimentary. Typical of all you tectonic fanboys"

"Fuck you - it was discovered in a rollover anticline on a growth fault"

"Bullshit, it clearly came from a faulted anticline"

"You're a troll anyway. I remember you from the igneous board"

That is awesome. And there are forums like that, I'm sure.

Ouch! Painfully memories of nearly failing geology in college are flooding back to me. Man, I hated that class! But my professor could have very well been one of the guys in Anchorhead's post. If there were/are forums for these things, he would be the equivelent of a "Jedi Spirit" in their rankings system I'd bet. He was unbelieveable enthusiatic about the subject he taught.

Bah! International nomenclature rules suck.

Though, I'd rather reserve the name Kryptonite for a mineral that really does glow green.

That joke is almost as stupid as this one:

How do you hold up your pants on Saturn? An asteroid belt!

Almost. But really, I'd be hard pressed to think of something more stupid than that.
