Well, elements above 92 (and #43) don't exist in any quantity in nature, but #94, Plutonium, can be used in nuclear power plants or to blow the h3ll out of things.
Is that radioactive? lol
Teddy's emitting more than alpha particles.
My wife's biscuits(aka Ship Anchors)are the heaviest element in the galaxy.
So what is it that makes some gasses Noble and some not so much? Is it good breeding?
lol! That's priceless.
Managerium must be related to Governmentium.
HEAVIEST ELEMENT DISCOVERED - Governmentium
>
> A major research institution has recently
announced the discovery of the
heaviest chemical element yet known to science.
The new element has been
named "Governmentium". Governmentium has 1
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
easily be detected as it impedes every reaction
with which it comes in
contact. A minute amount of governmentium has
been shown to cause one
reaction to take over 4 days to complete, when it
would normally take less
than a second.
>
> Governmentium has a normal half-life of 2 to 4
years; however, 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 causes some morons to become
neutrons, forming isodopes.
>
> This characteristic of moron-promotion leads
some scientists to speculate
that governmentium is formed whenever morons
reach a certain quantity in
concentration. This hypothetical quantity is
referred to as "Critical
Morass".

> You will know it when you see it.

I believe that until it is actually named they will follow the usual temporary naming convention and call it "Unumoctium"!
But could they win a Nobel prize for it?
Super-heavy element 114 is predicted to be stable if accompanied with 184 neutrons (114 protons, 184 neutrons).
All these other super-heavy elements will have a half-life of milliseconds. The way protons and neutrons line up in the atomic nucleus determines the half-life and the latest theories are that the atomic nucleus has a ring structure much like electrons have ring structure.
No one has been able to produce this 114 element with atomic weight of 298 yet but it is predicted to be the island of stability (lasting for more than an hour or more.)
Will Karlroveium do a more efficient job of destroying levees? Steering hurricanes? Altering voting machines?
REID MUST RESIGN!!!!!!!
Is there a known practical purpose for wanting to produce elements 120 and heavier?
How about for constructing a chair to withstand 1 HT load? (you know, a Helen Thomas load) :)
Yes, we have been known to work with radios. If fact, I have a two-way radio on my desk now.
Get back to work!
Element 118 is pretty boring. I suggest the name "migrainium"...
Maybe element 119 can be Conservium. It nukes leftists on sight.
That is so HILARIOUS! Totally made up for the crummy day I had. :-) !!!
