New Element Discovered...

Well, it may not be THAT old as I'm sure some you more scientific types are quite familiar with it, but for those not of a scientific bent, or are just not bent, peruse this:

Oxford University researchers have discovered the heaviest element yet known to science. The new element, Governmentium (symbol=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 pillocks. 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 4 days to 4 years to complete. Governmentium has a normal half-life of 2 to 6 years. It does not decay, but instead undergoes a reorganisation 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 reorganisation 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 a critical morass. When catalysed with money, Governmentium becomes Administratium (symbol=Ad), an element that radiates just as much energy as Governmentium, since it has half as many pillocks but twice as many morons.

The Colonel masterfully toed the line on that one, to which I give more kudos than the post's content, which was quite entertaining in itself!

Someone did actually find a new element and the push is to name it Lemmenium after dearly departed Lemmy Kilmister.

Keith1 · Jan 10, 2016

That's very true Jeff. There is an on-line petition to persuade the powers-that-be. There's only one problem: Lemmy himself hated being labelled with the moniker of Heavy Metal preferring instead (if labels are even necessary) the more fundamental term of Rock and Roll..

thanks

I enjoyed that so much that I passed it on to my buddies

Oh, I'm very familiar with Mr. Kilmister. Motorhead fan since No Sleep, early 80s.

Yeah, he claimed rock and roll because he loved the Beatles and such, and hell, you probably know this, their first single or close to it was a cover of Louie Louie of all things...

But that speed freak Jack and Coke lover WAS metal. He embodied it, a mish mash of punk and rock and loud.....will miss him. Philthy Phil too, dead just two months ago.
