New Element 312
I Didn't take time to check this out w/SNOPES. :-)
Lawrence Livermore Laboratories has discovered 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 four days
To four 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 moron 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.
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.

By making this effort, you can often elicit more positive responses from the community, and instantly mark yourself as someone worth talking to.

Not if you make the font so small it can't be read.

I for one welcome our new Governmentium overlords and am shocked, shocked, that they would be made fun of.
