On The Lighter Side...........

Here is something that was sent to me by a friend. Enjoy.

Be back blogging as soon as I finish the "project that never ends" at work.


NEW CHEMICAL ELEMENT DISCOVERED

Written by To The Point News Friday, 25 April 2008

The latest research in particle physics has led to the discovery of 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 action with which it comes into contact. Governmentium exhibits a quite rare physical capacity: being an anti-catalyst.

A minute amount of Governmentium can cause a reaction that would normally take less than a second to take from days to years to complete, perhaps even preventing the reaction entirely.

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 moron promotion leads some scientists to believe that Governmentium is formed whenever morons reach a critical concentration. This hypothetical state is referred to as critical morass.

Researchers are now postulating that a society reaching critical morass would look very much like America at this particular position and moment in space-time.
