The new element has been named &#8220;Governmentium.&#8221; Governmentium has one neutron, 12 assistant neutrons, 75 deputy neutrons, and 224 assistant deputy neutrons, giving it an atomic mass of 312.<\/p>\n<p>These 312 particles are held together by forces called morons, which are surrounded by vast quantities of particles called peons.<\/p>\n<p>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 minute amount of Governmentium causes one reaction to take over four days to complete, when it would normally take less than a second.<\/p>\n<p>Governmentium has a normal shelf-life of 4 years; it does not decay, but instead undergoes a reorganization in which a portion of the assistant neutrons and deputy neutrons exchange places.<\/p>\n<p>In fact, Governmentium&#8217;s mass will actually increase over time, since each reorganization will cause more morons to become neutrons, forming isodopes.<\/p>\n<p>This 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 referred to as &#8220;Critical Morass.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>When catalyzed with money, Governmentium becomes Administratium &#8212; an element which radiates just as much energy as the Governmentium since it has half as many peons but twice as many morons.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Apply material lightly. <\/p>\n<!-- AddThis Advanced Settings generic via filter on the_content --><!-- AddThis Share Buttons generic via filter on the_content -->","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Time for some humor.
