"Korean Scientists Create Magical Substance"

Man..

That's a headline at the Korea Times. Did they create pixie dust? A cure for AIDS? Perhaps immortality?

Zeolite?!?!?!?!

you all know I really liked Korea and will be going back. But the Korean chauvinist lunacy about Korea outstrips any other countries' chauvinist lunacy. Even after the Hwang cloning fraud, Koreans will believe any outrageously excellent claim about Korea or Koreans.

In this case they (apparently, cause I no longer believe what their labs report) have made synthetic zeolite (sounds like a made up substance) which might help convert crude oil to gasoline. Which was apparently impossible before.

Well, not really.

Someone please tell me that this headline was because Mr. Ed Park (world's best translator from Korean to English) was not at the helm!
