Every clod has a silver lining

[Mike Sulzer]

Whatever the insulation, you would want it perfectly clear to highlight the silver wind.

Or maybe you would want it opaque to hide your embarrassment at having spent all that money to get 4% greater conductivity when the dominant loss in the most important guitar frequencies is from the steel cores, not the wire.

Well, Duh! That's why we dope our steel cores with extraterrestrial, cosmically tweaked materials like meteorites; or have them subjected to the cold hard of space by cryo-treating them. We'd never wrap silver wire around an ordinary earthly pole piece!

Ugh! How ingenuous

Since in the Greek narrative Niobe was turned into a stone, perhaps the meteoritic niobium is returning to Earth to be with her?

And we must be cautious not confuse 'lithophilic' with either 'lithophiliac' or 'Lilithophilic'

Oh, we have many of the latter here, in love (or at least voting) our heavyweight (literally ) politician Lilita Carrió , which some see as our future President in 2020.


See? .... you worry about Hillary, God sent us Lilita so we also worry about elections results.

I shiver waiting for our version of Trump .... although our Banks and Big Business backed Mauricio Macri would be a distant relative, just with a better haircut.
