It comes from the eastern european country, 'Waycheapistan'. With the
cost of industrial metals such as chrome skyrocketing, there has been
a big move towards importing more and more industrial materials from
'waycheapistan'.
my theory : Duristan is actually PCB-laced tungsten, very much like
the compound that waste management sold to the state government of
ohio, subsequently sprayed the PCB's all over the asphalt roadways
throughout ohio.
