I think this bounced when I tried to send it earlier. If not, it's funny the
2nd time around, too!
Scientific Discovery
Heaviest element discovered!
*Recent discovery of the heaviest element yet known*
A major research institution has recently announced the
discovery of the heaviest element yet known to science.
The new element has been named -Governmentium.
Governmentium has one neutron, 12 assistant neutrons, 75 deputy
neutrons, and 11 assistant deputy neutrons, giving it an atomic mass
of 312.
These 312 particles are held together by forces called morons,
which are surrounded by vast quantities of lepton like particles
called peons.
Since Governmentium has no electrons, it is inert. However, it
can be detected, because it impedes every action with which it comes
into contact.
A minute amount of Governmentium causes a reaction to take four
days to complete, when it would normally take less than a second.
Governmentium has a normal half-life of 4 years.
It does not decay, but instead under-goes a reorganization in
which a portion of the assistant neutrons and deputy neutrons
exchange places.
In fact, Governmentium's mass will actually increase over time
since each reorganization will cause more morons to become neutrons,
forming isodopes.
This characteristic of moron promotion leads some scientists to
believe that Governmentium is formed whenever morons reach a certain
quantity in concentration.
This hypothetical quantity is referred to as "Critical Morass."
When catalyzed with money, Governmentium becomes Administratium
- an element which radiates just as much energy as Governmentium
since it has half as many peons but twice as many morons
.
