My Word Clark! It's Kryptonite!

Earlier this year, two Canadians in Ottawa analyzed a funny-looking rock from Serbia and identified it as 'sodium lithium boron silicate hydroxide', the exact formula written on a case of kryptonite in the movie, Superman Returns.  That in itself is an amazing story.  But it gets better.  The Privy Council of England, for some mysterious reason, forced Canada's National Research Council to sit on the press release.  Ultimately the credit for the discovery was given to the British Natural History Museum.  Zounds, Superman.  What a conundrum!  Just for the record, the story says it was scientist Chris Stanley of the Natural History Museum in England who sent the rock to the National Geological Survey of Canada, where the analysis was performed by Canadians Yvone LePage and Pamela Whitfield.  They were the ones who identified it as kryptonite.
