Scientists discover new element.

My sister-in-law sent me an email today with the following information. I thought it was very appropriate because of the local government isodopes we have dealt with here in Franklin, Co., Missouri. If you're not familiar with our local isodopes, check out the links in the right column titled, "Article and letters about how Franklin County officials tried to block our adoption".


NEWSFLASH:

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 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 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 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.

On a very happy note, another family with our agency who live about 50 miles from us and are adopting brothers from the same orphanage Sarah lives in, received their I-600 approval today. That means they will be traveling very soon. We are so happy for them and can't wait to eventually meet their sons. You can check out their blog in our list in the right column, Five in the Hive .
