An ongoing series on the periodic table's religious right. Today, the second of three krypton updates, compiled and reported by Bret Dawson.

Because information is too often fleeting and too rarely informative, because paragraphs often entertain and seldom elucidate, the following facts about krypton will be presented in point form.

1. Superman can breathe krypton without ill effects.

2. So can you.

3. Unless you breathe it exclusively, neglecting the oxygen.

4. In which case you are screwed and doomed to suffocation.

5. Which Superman is not.

6. On account of his being super, you see.

7. He cannot handle kryptonite, however.

8. Which does not contain krypton.

9. Except for maybe a trace here and there.

10. Mostly it is made up of silicon and a bit of a salad of organic and inorganic compounds.

11. It is just chunks of ground, after all, and one life-supporting planet is much like another in its chemical makeup.

12. Chunks of ground from the planet Krypton, Superman's home planet.

13. Is what kryptonite is made of.

14. The planet is not the same thing as the noble gas.

15. It just shares the name.

16. Duh.

17. You are a stupid buttface.

18. That is all.
