(HUMOR) Scientists Discover New Element, the Heaviest Yet Known to Science

(I posted this a few days ago, but it is a funny distraction from all of the doom and gloom being reported).

The Heaviest Element Known to Science

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.z

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 catalysed 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.

Brilliant! Oh, wait, how much taxpayer funding was used to discover this heavy brane crap?

I thought they were going to talk about Gore’s brain but this is pretty funny.

and here i thought the only thing in nature more dense than Depleted Uranium is Algorium.

much too dense to be fashioned into a practical weapon, and is so unstable, it can actually go off on unassisted.

Highly embarrassing.

I think Liberalanium is much more dense. Hopefully it’s have life is 2 years.
