OT - Scientific News Flash

I used to be annoyed by the presence of Administratium, but I've come to the realization that when you reach the right mass of Administratium, it forms the compound "CFEP", also known as "Contractor Full Employment Program". After all, someone (usually LOTS of someones) have to be paid to track the mass of Administratium. And, since it moves so slowly, tracking it is a pretty cushy job. Not very exciting or fulfilling, but certainly stable.

And a stable paycheck is a good thing...

Since the discovery of Administratium, this reporter has researched and has now uncovered a few interesting facts.

1. Many reports reliably suggest that Administratium is known to leave evidence of its existence. Even in it's most primitive forms, Administratium is known to leave a very visible trail consisting of massive amounts of paper. Much of this paper comes in triplicate or even quadruplicate.

2. If you see such a trail, DO NOT approach. For some as yet unknown reason those who approach too closely become bound up with RED TAPE. There are rumors that some red tape victims remain bound for months and even years.

This reporter will try to confirm these facts and learn more...

Wow! This is an amazing discovery. Ok, so administrantium has an atomic mass of 312. If you total up the number of the different types of neutrons, you get 1 + 12 + 75 + 111 = 199. Therefore, the number of protons must be 312 - 199 = 113. Looking at the Periodic Table, we see that the element with atomic number 113 was tentatively called Ununtrium (Uut) until we got the new name Adminstrantium (Ad). In the Periodic Table, it is under Element #81, Thallium (Tl). Now, Ad has no electrons and it is electrically neutral, so the peons must have a charge of -113. If the morons gradually become neutrons over time and the mass increases, then the extra mass must of come from outside the atom. Either the atom absorbed some external particle that collided with it, or perhaps a photon was captured and converted to mass.

However, it does not seem right that the Ad atom can keep increasing in mass indefinitely. There must be a limit to the mass of the isodope, and at some point it must become unstable.

Damn, and I was hoping this would be something interesting. Hate to rain on the parade, but this has been going around since... well, since before SE3, let's just put it that way.

That may be so, but you can see it is new to some.
