It's kryptonite!

The Public Eye has left a new comment on your post, Donald Schade: "Can you hear me now Murray Trachtenberg?"

Oh, and as to what he's holding . . . . I wouldn't be doing my bit to encourage intellectual inquiry if I gave away all the answers, now would I?

Anyone with even five minutes' familiarity with "Superman" should know exactly what he's holding and why. Hint: He's not decorating a Christmas tree.

Dear Mr. Populi:

Thank you very much for the hint which allowed us to eliminate Christmas tree decorations. After exhaustive research we were able to prove beyond a shadow of a doubt it's kryptonite! We offer the proof.

Sincerely,
Clare L. Pieuk
