I've seen some pretty terrible things posted on SI, but this of yours is one of the top contenders .....

Maybe you should live where you are living, and never come to the States....go live in any number of 3rd world states, in Saudi, in Africa, in France, in Russia....there are lots of choices for you to be happy...

Similarly, I do not need to see this administration resort to mass murder before I judge them on par with the Stalin; 60 years of progress since then should have taught them better and I judge them according to our time.

Here is a news bulletin that has come to our recent attention:

A major research institution has announced the discovery of the heaviest element yet known to science—"Bushonium".

It has 1 neutron, 12 assistant neutrons, 75 deputy neutrons and 111 assistant deputy neutrons, for an atomic mass of 312. These 312 particles are held together by weak forces called morons, which are further surrounded by vast quantities of even weaker, lepton-like sub-particles called peons.

Bushonium has no electrons and is therefore inert. It can be detected, however, since it causes a counter reaction with anything factual with which it comes into contact. A tiny amount of Bushonium can affect a logical reaction that normally occurs in seconds by slowing it down to the point where it takes from 4 to 8 years.

Bushonium has a normal half life of 4 years. It doesn't decay, in the usual sense, but rather "re-organizes", a process whereby deputy neutrons and assistant deputy neutrons trade places. This process actually causes the Bushonium to grow and, in the confusion, some morons actually mutate to become neutrons, thereby forming isodopes.

The phenomenon of "moron promotion" has led to considerable speculation that Bushonium may even be created spontaneously whenever morons meet in sufficient concentration to form critical morass. Many researchers believe that in Bushonium, the more re-organization takes place, the morass is covered in the process.

Sometimes Bushonium transforms into Bushonium light, a version that has a decay time of 2 years. Typically this can occur after 6 years through an interaction with an electron, proving that honest electrons exist.

Love the dialog between you and KLP.

I'll be in NYC in November, Thanksgiving and shopping. Thanks to Bushonium things are not as expensive as in Denmark and NYC Christmas lighting is always great.
