Found this in my email.
A major research institution has just announced the discovery of
the heaviest element yet known to science. The new element has been
named "Governmentium." Governmentium has one neutron, 12 assistant
neutrons,75 deputy neutrons, and 224 assistant deputy neutrons, giving it an atomic mass of 311.
These 311 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,
as it impedes every reaction with which it comes into contact. A minute amount of
Governmentium causes one reaction to take over 4 days to complete,
when it would normally take less than a few seconds.
Governmentium has a normal half-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. 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 certain quantity in concentration.
This hypothetical quantity is referred to as "Critical Morass".
When catalyzed with money Governmentium becomes Administratium,
an element which radiates just as much energy, since it has 1/2 as
many peons but twice as many morons.
