Murdo discovers new Element...

Murdo McCleod will go down in history as having discovered an uncharted Element and as having discovered this element not out in the field but from the confines of his very own office.

-------Headline--------

The heaviest element known to science was recently discovered by Calgary Resident, Murdo McCleod.
Tentatively named ADMINISTRATIUM, this new element has no protons or electrons and thus has an atomic number of 0. However it does have 1 neutron, 125 assistant neutrons, 75 vice-neutrons and 111 assistant vice-neutrons. This gives it an atomic mass of 312.

These 312 particles are held together by a force that involves the continuous exchange of meson-like particles called morons. It is also surrounded by vast quantities of lepton-like particles called peons.

Since it has no electrons, ADMINISTRATIUM is inert. However it can be detected chemically as it impedes every reaction it comes in contact with.
According to the discoverer, Murdo McCleod, a minute' amount of this element caused one reaction to take over four months to complete when it would normally have occurred in less than one week.

With a normal half-life of three years, at which time it does not decay, it instead undergoes a reorganization. The sample's mass actually increases over time, since, with each reorganization some of the morons inevitably become neutrons. This characteristic of moron promotion leads some scientists to speculate that perhaps ADMINISTRATIUM is spontaneously formed whenever morons reach a certain quantity in concentration. This hypothetical quantity is referred to as "critical morass".
