Subject: NEW ELEMENT DISCOVERED - ADMINISTRATIUM

The heaviest element kown to science was recently discovered. The element,
tentatively named Administratium, has no protons or electrons and thus has
an atomic number of 0.

However it does have 1 Neutron, 128 Assistant Neutrons, 75 Vice-Neutrons
and 111 Assistant Vice- Neutrons. This gives it an atomic weight of 315.
These 315 particles are  held together in a nucleus by a force that
involves the continuous exchange of meson-like particles called Morons.

Since it has no electrons, Administratium, is inert. However, it can be
detected chemically as it impedes every other reaction with which it comes
into contact. According to the discoverers, a minute amount of
Administratium caused one reaction to take over four days to complete, when
it would normally occur in less than one second.

Administratium has a normal life of aproximately 3 years, at which time it
does not decay  but, instead, undergoes a reorganization in which Assistant
Neutrons, Vice-Neutrons and Assistant Vice-Neutrons exchange places. Some
studies have shown that the atomic weight actually increases after each
reorganization.

Research at other laboratories indicates that Administratium occurs
naturally in the atmosphere. It tends to concentrate at certain points such
as government, large companies, health facilities and universities; and
will often be found in the newest, best maintained buildings.

Scientists point out that Administratium is known to be toxic at any level
of concentration  and can easily destroy any productive reactions where it
is allowed to accumulate. Attempts are being made to determine how
Administratium can be controlled to prevent irreversible damage, but
results to date are not promising.

***** Many politicians and bureaucrats are doing their utmost to curtail
the freedom of the Internet as well as to reduce liberty in other ways.

One of the most powerful strategies for curtailing their run-amok power is
to ridicule them.  The less power they have, the less able they are to
violate our freedoms and liberties.

sloth.

I know one woman who received this message and just deleted it.  Within the
hour a pound of Administratium descended upon her.  It now takes her 13
seconds to make one keystroke on her keyboard -- and it takes her 5 hours
to read a message like this.
