 Posted: 04/26/06 - 13:33 Post subject: Kryptonite
was the big topic of discussion at the jrjo dinner table last night.
Did you know?...
| Quote: | | The creation of the element Kryptonite came about in the early days of radio. Once, when Bud Collyer, the radio voice of Superman ("This is a job for Superman!") needed to leave the program for a vacation, the scriptwriters invented Kryptonite. The strange and deadly powers of the green substance then forced Superman into a closet and for next two weeks, another actor mouthed the indecipherable moans and groans of an ailing Superman until the vacationing Bud Collyer returned to his role. |

Gee, radio was more forward-thinking than we thought!
