I have personally seen this element, and it's
negative affect on production is astounding.

A new addition to Chemistry's Periodic Table

Research has led to the discovery of 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 action with which it comes into
contact.

A minute 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.

This Nov it just might get a lot heavier :D

This description is all over the place. First off, it contradicts itself. If it had no electrons it would not be inert (I call BS on the ALL neutron composition), as stated, but highly reactive, as the author later indicates. I call BS, this ?Gv? element is not real. It sounds to me like the author knows nothing about this element, 2-6 year half life? They can measure half life down to ten thousands of a second but they can only get this one to a 4 year period? Of course its mass will increase, since I reject the theory of a fully neurotic composition it?s going to have protons and a net + charge and it WILL attract electrons. For its mass to increase it would either need to gain/lose protons (thus becoming a different element) or gain/lose neutrons, likely becoming radioactive. Chemistry my butt, what is this, some kind of stupid joke?

Exactly, but not stupid, actually quite funny

You really like writing long overdrawn responses don't you? Your last line would have sufficed :flipoff2:

Old, but too true.

Nate, go home and get your sense of humor; you forgot it today. :P

This Nov, if McCain wins it just might get a lot heavier, like it did under Bush and the Repub Congress. :D.
