Yup. I remember when Texas race car builder/driver Jim Hall was asked what the chassis of his Chaparral car was fabricated from, "unobtanium" was his answer...cjj wrote:Many decades...Tarrbot wrote:Certain geeks have been using the term 'unobtainium' for well over a decade.

It was a bad joke. If it's so unobtainable why was there so much of it?
