A New Element Discovered
email | NA | NA

Posted on 11/15/2008 8:34:43 AM PST by dvan

Lawrence Livermore Laboratories has discovered the heaviest element yet known to science.

The new element, Governmentium (Gv), has one neutron, 25 assistant neutrons, 88 deputy neutrons, and 198 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 reaction with which it comes into contact. A tiny amount of Governmentium can cause a reaction that would normally take less than a second, to take from 4 days to 4 years to complete.

Governmentium has a normal half-life of 2- 6 years. It does not decay, but instead undergoes 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 morons promotion leads some scientists to believe that Governmentium is formed whenever morons reach a critical concentration. This hypothetical quantity is referred to as critical morass.

When catalyzed with money, Governmentium becomes Administratium, an element that radiates just as much energy as Governmentium, since it has half as many peons but twice as many morons.

Yes, but where is the explanation for all of the noxious gasses emitted from governmnent?

Governmentium has no electrons

So I take it there is nothing positive within Governmentium?

You have it ... lighting in a Klein bottle fostering perpetual motion cancelling any adverse entropy in its wave.

Simply a'mazin'!!!

I do NOT find this amusing at all....in fact I’m afraid this “element” will overtake the earth....we need to address it like the enviro’s are addressing global warming....and DESTROY IT!
