thallium et al

Anyone who has seen the news in the past few days will have noticed there is a former Russian spy, Alexander Litvinenko, who has been hospitalized with suspected thallium poisoning. This mention of thallium led me to think about Tom Lehrer, an American mathematician, satirist and entertainer, who is the only person I know of who has managed to fit the word "thallium" into a song.

It's certainly well done as is much of his other material
