Take a deep breath and wade through this one : very clever. ( For those
of you who know him - received from Kevin in Vietnam ) - Once a teacher
always a teacher!
Researchers have recently discovered the heaviest element known to
science: Administratium.
Administratium has one 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 a force called morons, which
are surrounded by vast quantities of particles called peons.
Since administratium 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 administratium causes one
reaction to take more than four days to complete when it would normally
take less than one second.
Administratium has a normal half-life of three years.
It does not decay but, instead, undergoes a reorganization, in which a
number of the assistant neutrons and deputy neutrons and assistant
deputy neutrons exchange places. In fact, administratium's mass will
actually increase over time, since each reorganization causes some
morons to become neutrons, forming new isodopes.
This characteristic of moron transformation 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.
