Title: "Governmentium" Post by: KB1ORY on February 11, 2009, 06:34:20 PM KB1ORY Old Edd -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- This article was written by: Jim Isbell W5JAI And it was copied from the Glowbugs list at: glowbugs@piobaire.mines.uidaho.edu -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The Heaviest Element Known to Science: Lawrence Livermore Laboratories has made a startling discovery in finding 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 deposits. The location of Governmentium deposits is found in every state capital. with a mother lode in Washington, D.C. 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. -- Jim Isbell "If you are not living on the edge, well then, you are just taking up too much space."-- Title: Re: "Governmentium" Post by: Ed/KB1HYS on February 11, 2009, 07:54:02 PM Now THATS funny!!!
Title: Re: "Governmentium" Post by: k4kyv on February 12, 2009, 02:06:14 PM I saw it a few years ago in nearly identical form, except that it was called "Administratium".
Perhaps more appropriate, since non-government "administrators" can be just as idiotic as government ones.

Funny how this stuff resurfaces with a brand new name and a brand new author every 10 years or so. AMfone - Dedicated to Amplitude Modulation on the Amateur Radio Bands
