New Element Discovered . . . .

    New Element Discovered . . . . Administratium

    A major research institution has recently announced the discovery of the
    heaviest element yet known to science. This new element has been
    tentatively named "Administratium." Administratium has 1 neutron, 12
    assistant neutrons, 75 deputy neutrons, and 111 assistant deputy
    neutrons, giving it an atomic mass of 312. These 312 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 4
    days to complete when it would normally take less than a second.
    Administratium has a normal half-life of 3 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, 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." You will know it when you see it.
