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.
