SANTA CRUZ DE TENERIFE, Canary Islands (AP) - British scientists have embarked on a mission to study a huge area on the Atlantic seabed where the Earth's crust is mysteriously missing and instead is covered with dark green rock from deep inside the planet.

[What's interesting about this story is tracking who mentions the Cardiff connection and who doesn't. Is there an anti-Welsh contingent at the CBC?]

Kryptonite was pretty much everywhere, too. Now we know why: Poor Kal, not being a super-geologist, never realized what Green K really is.
