silver lining..

..is actually a platinum lining, contained in this chemo pouch in sexy blue jacket being hung up by the liltingly accented Scotsman Scott from Troon (in sexy purple coat!).
Going hand in hand with radiation which zaps the bad (and occasional caught in the crossfire good) cells, the platinum apparently helps thwart regeneration of the cells' DNA.

Amazing what you learn lolling in an easy chair.

and here's a little platinum verse courtesy of a geo friend. We were talking about the metal just the other day.
"When you go hunting hippos
Use bullets made of platinum
For if you use leaden ones
His hide will only flatten 'em.'

Best not hunted at all mind you.
