New Element added to the Table of Elements
New element found - Bushcronium

A major research institution has just announced the discovery of the
heaviest element yet known to science. The new element has been named
"Bushcronium."

Bushcronium has one neutron, 12 assistant neutrons, 75 deputy neutrons,
and 224 assistant deputy neutrons, giving it an Atomic mass of 311.
These 311 particles are held together by forces called morons, which
are surrounded by vast quantities of lepton-like particles called
peons. Since Bushcronium has no electrons, it is inert. However, it
can be detected, as it impedes every reaction with which it comes into
contact. A minute amount of Bushcronium causes one reaction to take
over 4 days to complete what would normally take less than a second.

Bushcronium has a normal half-life of multiples of 4 years; it does not
decay, but instead, undergoes a reorganization in which a portion of
the assistant neutrons and deputy neutrons exchange places. In fact,
Bushcronium's mass will actually increase over time, since each
reorganization will cause more morons to become neutrons, forming
isodopes. This characteristic of moron-promotion leads some scientists
to believe that Bushcronium is formed whenever morons reach a certain
quantity in concentration. This hypothetical quantity is referred to as
"Critical Morass." When catalyzed with money, Bushcronium activates
Foxnewsium, an element which radiates orders of magnitude, more energy,
albeit as incoherent noise, since it has 1/2 as many peons, but twice
as many morons.

1. But does how does it affect Superman?
I hear that Krypton is being added to the Axis of Countries That Have Enough Energy For Us To Want To Steal.

--p!

2. "...forming isodopes" -- LOL
Much needed laugh received with gratitude. :)

5. There's been further research done
"Since Bushcronium has no electrons, it is inert. However, it
can be detected, as it impedes every reaction with which it comes into
contact."

This has been shown to be false. For example, when Bushcronium was released in the US Treasury, a vacuum force of incredible power was unleashed and the Treasury was emptied in seconds. Not only that but the effect transcended the space-time continuum and has vacuumed out trillions of dollars that haven't even been created yet.
