As far as you heard, one of the last times you heard about LANL in the news was when they announced the discovery of inferiorium...  * It should be noted that every super serum developed by every World Power since WWII had less then stellar results (a (99.9% failure rate).  Successful tests only seem to result in "physical" powers. [/sblock]Max Knowledge: Current Events/Technology (Inferiorium) <a href="http://invisiblecastle.com/roller/view/2154130/" target="_blank">1d20+3=20</a>[sblock="Inferiorium"]When inferiorium was announced, it was sold as being a "super alloy" which was impervious to super human levels of strength (and never as a nanite).  However during a well publicized test of Inferiorium's properties, it was revealed that the "alloy" also negated super strength when a group of nameless third string supers were publicly humiliated on Late Night with Jay Leno after being unable to bend a paperclip composed of inferiorium and then lift a 200 lb bar bell with one hand when a super human child was able to do it (thought it should be noted that the child was given a regular paperclip as part of the joke).  A few weeks ago you remember hearing something about some UCLA robotics researcher being tapped by LANL to work on some project dealing with Inferiorium (which sounded strange at the time).Also, there was one recent story that mentioned inferiorium having to be stored in an electromagnetic field which makes using it for "law enforcement" purposes difficult..[/sblock]</blockquote>
