Silicone Crazy
A new limited study shows that implants may affect your brain.
Researchers have found high concentrations of platinum in women who got silicone breast implants and in the children they bore and breast-fed afterward....Distinct from platinum released by catalytic converters in cars, platinum in implants is treated with nitric and hydrochloric acids and becomes very reactive, Lykissa said. The heavy metal readily binds in the human body, especially to nerve endings, short-circuiting communication with the brain.
"You see green, but you perceive a full moon," he said. "All of a sudden, your brain system is not working right."
I submit that a woman who has implants for any reason other than reconstructive surgery already has a brain system that isn't working right. And any man that would tell me he'd like me better if my boobs were bigger is unworthy of my attention.
I yam what I yam.
Deal with it.

Try as I might, I can't come up with any smart-ass comment that even comes close to the article.
Ooh, here's one! "Brings new meaning to the term Platinum Blonde."
Lord, I apologize.

I can't speak for the Lord, but I like it.
