How Everyday Products Make People Sick: Toxins at Home and In the Workplace is far from being a comprehensive work. There's no mention at all of kryptonite or mint in the index. How can you have a book about things that make people sick without mentioning mint? Or kryptonite? Captain ILL has had a hard time getting his hands on even a small amount of kryptonite (not for any malicious purpose, of course) and he had hopes that this book would put him on the right track. How hard can it be to locate a substance that glows with a sickly green light? Pretty darned hard it turns out. Even ebay turned out to be a dead end, though the Captain did find several very nice locks for his bicycle. If anyone out there in the internets has any kryptonite to spare, would you please send it the Captain's way? Please though, no mint.

Kryptonite did return 223 hits from ebay. Of course many of those pertained to the song "Pocketful of Kryptonite" by Spin Doctors (a fine song by the way).
Even the phrase "anti-matter" returned a handful of possibilities.
Thanks Bowlingjoe, but while Captain ILL is as big a Starblazers fan as anyone, he's not sure that the anti-matter that comes with a "Comet Empire model kit" would suit his needs.
