	Unobtainium - Uncyclopedia
		Unobtainium is the hardest chemical element known to man. It is so durable that a vessel made of unobtainium can send Aaron Eckhart to the centre of the Earth.
		Due to its hardness, Unobtainium could also be used to make the world's tallest building, a completely uncollapseable edifice almost one hundred million stories high.
		However, you'd better be careful not to exceed this critical level, as the building would otherwise suffer unacceptable wear from the moon scraping off the top couple of floors.

		As a collector, I'd certainly like to know what other units have a significant problem with unobtainium parts.

		They exist, they work wonderfully (at least in the laboratory), but they're a long way from being useful to us and who among us could manipulate them for installation in our 3' long tube?
