nah, no-one would believe that, look, the yanks don't even put beetroot on
their burgers, they'd never accept it's used to purify their copper.
the fact is, the *best* copper comes from asteroids. now, being that we
can't quite yet go sailing out to one to get the buggers back ere, we're
constrained to getting it, grain by grain, from bits of said rocks that
have happened to fall to earth as meteors - which, due to their rarity,
explains why Best Buy is able to get away with charging >$2000 for HDMI cables.
after all, no-one would actually *pay* that much for a cable if there
wasn't a really good reason.
right?
