Element discovered.
According to a totally unsubstantiated rumor making the rounds, a major
research institution recently announced the discovery of the heaviest element
yet known to science. Tentatively named "Administratium," the element has one
neutron, 12 assistant neutrons, 75 deputy neutrons, and 11 assistant deputy
neutrons, giving it an atomic mass of 312. These particles are held together
by a force called morons, which are surrounded by vast quantities of lepton-
like particles called peons.
Since Administratium 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 Administratium causes one reaction to take over four days to
complete, when it would normally take less than a second.
Administratium has a normal half-life of three years; it does not decay, but
instead undergoes a reorganization, in which a portion 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 isodopes.
This characteristic of moron-promotion 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."
