Kryptonite has been discovered in large quantities in a mine in Serbia to the delight of Superman fans, who now argue that the case for his existence has been proved.
In the long running debate over whether there really is a Superman both sides have fought a long running battle of words. The Superman camp has argued that there must be a supreme being running our humble world for many years, while the anti-Superman camp have argued that there is no actual proof of his existence.
Superman fans throughout the world have now taken out full-page spreads in several leading newspapers begging the underpants-clad hero to emerge and finally show his true colours (believed to be blue and red) to the world.
The closely guarded Serbian mine is being visited by top scientists whose work on the Kryptonite is shrouded in mystery. Only a couple of mild-mannered journalists have managed to get close enough for an interview.
One of the scientists, known only as "Lex" released the following statement "Mwa-ha-ha-ha-ha-haaaah" whilst leaving the mine with a large lead box in tow.
