I STILL can't unsubscribe from their little "chat" email system. These people go back and forth leaving me with around 30 emails per day just on random topics....most of them completely foolish. Here is the latest discussion which actually caught my attention:
Okay, here is another light, or should I say heavy one? This discovery is timely considering the State of the Union message last night.
Berkeley just 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 224 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.
When catalyzed with money, Governmentium becomes Administratium, an
element which radiates just as much energy, since it has half as many peons,
but twice as many morons.
Since Governmentium has no electrons, it is inert. It can be detected,
however, as it impedes every reaction with which it comes into contact.
A reaction that normally takes one minute or less will require a week or
more if contaminated by any Governmentium.
The half-life of Governmentium is 4 years. It does not, however, decay,
but instead undergoes a reorganization in which a portion of the
assistant neutrons and deputy neutron exchange places. In fact,
Governmentium's mass will actually increase over time, since each
reorganization will cause more morons to become neutrons, forming
isodopes.
The 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 called "Critical Morass."Mensa humor anyone? I don't have it obviously.
