Two new chemical elements have recently been discovered. Here for the first time is a description of their properties. Element Name: WOMAN Symbol: WO Atomic Weight: (don't even go there!) Physical Properties: - Generally round in form. - Boils at nothing and may freeze any time. - Melts whenever treated properly. - Very bitter if not used well. Chemical properties: - Very active. Highly unstable. - Possesses strong affinity to gold, silver, platinum, and precious stones. - Violent when left alone. - Able to absorb great amounts of exotic food. - Turns slightly green when placed next to a better specimen. Usage: - Highly ornamental. - An extremely good catalyst for dispersion of wealth. - Probably the most powerful income reducing agent known. Caution: Highly explosive in inexperienced hands. ------------------------------- Element Name: MAN Symbol: XY Atomic Weight: (180 +/- 50) Physical properties: - Solid at room temperature, but gets bent out of shape easily. - Fairly dense and sometimes flaky. - Difficult to find a pure sample. - Due to rust, aging samples are unable to conduct electricity as easily as young samples. Chemical properties: - Attempts to bond with WO any chance it can get. - Also tends to form strong bonds with itself. - Becomes explosive when mixed with Kd (Element: Child) for prolonged period of time. - Neutralize by saturating with alcohol. Usage: None known. Possibly good methane source. Good samples are able to produce large quantities on command. Caution: In the absence of WO, this element rapidly decomposes and begins to smell.
