Scientists have found a new element....

The recent hurricanes and gasoline issues are proof of the existence of a new chemical element. A major research institution has recently announced the discovery of the heaviest element yet known to science.

The new element has been named Governmentium.

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 reaction 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 over four days to complete.

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 critical 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 as Governmentium since it has half as many peons but twice as many morons.

LOL. I thought it was serious at first, I was like governmenium, what a conspicous name

LMAO... still wiping away the tears.

Scientists have discovered that Governmentium is in abundant supply since Bush was elected president. Despite early predictions that Governmentium would decrease with a Republican president, house, and senate, the expanse of Governmentium has grown exponentially. Scientists are baffled and note that the most negative impact of expanding Governmentium has been record-setting budget deficiencies, the offset of which ironically will not impact the representatives of Governmentium (Conservativium and Libreralium), but those who are supposed to be represented.

That was awesome joe!
