THE WORLD'S HEAVIEST ELEMENT
Last week, I received the following from one of the South Carolina members of TUFF, the Taxpayers Union for Financial Freedom. Author unknown, it speaks for itself.
"The U.S. Army Laboratory at Natick Ma. 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 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."
You will know it when you see it."
Do you see any of this in the current investigation of who knew what before the 9/11 tragedy and subsequent reformation of the FBI, CIA, NSC, Coast Guard, and other reorganization under the new Homeland Security Chief, cabinet office, department, or whatever it's going to be?
Do you see any of this in the current investigation of Enron, Arthur Andersen, Global Enterprises, Wall Street brokerages, and other brainstorming, exchange of ideas, or learning sessions by Congress and the SEC?
Do you find signs in the Catholic Church crisis where deputy neutron people who have preached morals and ethics for ages must now retire to Texas to decide what to do in their own case?
Do you see signs of Administratium in the current debate to raise the national debt limit for the umpteenth time? A game of economic masturbation that our government plays with itself at our expense.
