Fw: new element discovered (Joke)

[NeilKeeney@AOL.COM]

Dear Radsafers:



I recently became exposed to the element described below during a DOE work 

proposal.  Actually, I was overexposed and the proposed work project, being 

closely aligned to the described element, underwent an inverse cold fusion 

reaction thereby sucking all the life force from the project, thus becoming 

inert.  I always wondered how such things occurred...



Regards,

New Element Discovered:  Administratium



A major research institution has recently announced the discovery of the

heaviest element yet known to science.  This new element has been

tentatively named "Administratium."  Administratium has 1 neutron, 12

assistant neutrons, 75 deputy neutrons, and 111 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 Administratium has no electrons, it is inert.  However, it can be

detected as it impedes every reaction with which it comes into contact.



A minute amount of Administratium causes one reaction to take over 4

days to complete when it would normally take less than a second.



Administratium has a normal half-life of 3 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, Administratium'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 Administratium 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.
