Polish short wave radio announced today that
one of their prominent universities has come up with
a major contribution to the superconductor race;
the superconducting resistor.

"The biggest problem" said Prof. Ded Headsky," was
to get a superconducting resistor that would resist
at the 92 degree Kelvin range currently used by 
other superconducting components.  The substances 
we tried before had the annoying habit of having 
absolute zero resistance at any temperature
greater than 120K, even room temperature.  These 
samples were immediately destroyed as experimental error."

Work is continuing in this field as Polish scientists
attempt to increase the resistance levels of superconductors
to a maximum.

"It is our dream to someday be the first to come up with a perfect 
superconducting insulator!"
