Often confused as either a fruit-based linguistic philosophy or a treatment for anal warts, manganese is, in fact, neither. Instead, it is the latest in a long line of singularly uninteresting "silvery metals" that seem to make up most of the universe, if conspicuous in the unshiny nature of the whole affair in toto. Second-string porn player to the Ron Jeremies of the periodic table, manganese is mostly used to prop up other elements and keep them spry.
