The Incredible Hulk said:"Everyone" doesnt know anything. You're making the claim that it did, foolio, why should I have to prove that it didnt when it's never been mentioned anywhere on the show?
They've never mentioned that the Easter Bunny raped the Tooth Fairy on the show either, should I have to prove that didnt go down as well?
That's like arresting someone and then making them prove they're innocent, instead of you proving their guilty.
It's your claim, back it up, boy.

Show the picture of that then because SV got the most of the shower but not all of it. Also in one show yes he would say that he's never been outside of SV so of course he would think its only there. And once again how would some one years before Krypton even blew up get their hands on Kryptonite then? I mean to gt Kryptonite you have to get it after the planet blew because thats wht it is the planet not some every day rock.avidreader said:

Well then I stand corrected and I was wrong and for that I am sorry.MJD said:
Not to play Devil's Advocate or anything, 'cause I think the show does make it clear that Smallville (the town) is the "meteor capital of the world," but, Lionel was pointing out that the KEY was unique, not meteor rocks. Here's the quote:MJD said:

"The composition [of the key] was unique. There's nothing like it on Earth, with one exception: the meteor rocks found here in Smallville."
He doesn't really say specifically that the meteors are ONLY found in Smallville, just that the composition of the key matches that of the meteors found in Smallville. It's a statement of inclusion, not exclusion, so it's merely consistent with what they already know. It doesn't prove something they don't know - like exclude the existence of Kryptonite in other places such as China, South America or even Addis Ababa LOL. So the statement is somewhat of a grey area, if you *really* wanted to debate it.
I guess my point about inclusion verses exclusion is that it's very hard - some would say virtually impossible - to *prove* a negative. Lionel says the key matches the composition of the meteors found in Smallville. He had no way of knowing at that time that Smallville meteor rock was actually present in other areas, whether it was placed there or fell there.MJD said:

Lex said to Lionel in Crusade: "A fairytale you believed in enough to finance six expeditions over the last two years," and Edgar told Clark (in Lionel's body) in Transference, "Oh, he's scouring the globe. ... These ancient symbols, they've shown up in Egypt, Central America, even a sacred Indian cave right here in Kansas." And finally in Arrival: "Their home is their only poison."
Point is, Lionel would eventually find out that Smallville meteor rock, aka Kryptonite, would be found outside of Smallville.
