Yesterday one of my friends sent me an email fwd that contained something that reminded me alot of this thread. I stripped off all the little > marks (damn forwards usually have thousands of those crapping up the text,) and here it is. I think ours is funnier, but people outside AnandTech could never understand all the insider references in "Dealium" "Modium" "Nefium" "Trollium" "Zunium" and the now deleted "Eakerium".

Scientists Discover New Element
The heaviest element known to science was recently discovered by University physicists. The element, tentatively named Administratium, has no protons or electrons and thus has an atomic number of 0. However, it does have one neutron, 15 assistant neutrons, 70 vice assistant neutrons, and 161 assistant vice neutrons. This gives it an atomic mass of 247. These 247 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 reaction it comes in contact with. According to the discoverers, a minute amount of Administratium added to one reaction caused it to take over four weeks to complete. Without Administratium, the reaction ordinarily occurred in less than one second.
Administradium has a normal half life of approximately three years, at which time it does not actually decay but instead undergoes a reorganization in places. Studies seem to show the atomic number actually increasing after each reorganization.
Research indicates that Administratium occurs naturally in the atmosphere. It tends to concentrate in certain locations such as government agencies, large corporations and universities. It can usually be found in the newest,best appointed and best maintained buildings.
Scientists warn that Administratium is known to be toxic, and recommend plenty of fluids and bed rest after even low levels of exposure.
