A man, [+] a plan [both executed], a [root] canal, [not really near] Panama [City, FL]!

"Symbolism will be their downfall."

Xenon is named after the Greek word xenos, meaning stranger.

Xenon is a noble gas, used in strobes for high-speed photography, since it produces an intense, near-instantaneous burst of light when pulsed with high-voltage electricity.

It's also an ideal fuel for ion engines in satellites & deep-space probes.
