Curie and Me

In the shower this morning I noticed that my shampoo (specially formulated to protect my color-treated hair, dontcha know) had the following written on the back of the bottle:

Colorful reminder: when your color shines, so do you.

Well, strictly speaking I don't shine, I glow. Probably because the shampoo's fifth ingredient -- right after ammonium lauryl sulfate and before glycol distearate -- is radium.

I've got to quit just buying whatever's on sale.
