... which leads us to grammatical asymmetry -- there seems to be no matching superjunctive mood (at least I've not found any reference(s) thereto <g>). Perhaps it's called something else? (maybe something along the lines of "proton/fnord" rather than "proton/anti-proton")

I caught that line on an episode of "Fairly Oddparents" that the kids were watching this morning. I can't remember if it was "was" or "were" that was used, but I thought it was pretty cool and stuck it in my signature when I logged in to check my email. It WAS spoken by ubergenius Ben Stein, so I am sure whatever he said was correct.
