New Element on Periodic Table
New Element on Periodic Table


A major research institution has just announced the discovery of the densest 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 particles are held together by dark forces called morons, which are surrounded by vast quantities of lepton-like particles called peons. The symbol for Bushcronium is "W". Bushcronium's mass actually increases over time, as morons randomly interact with various elements in the atmosphere and become assistant deputy neutrons in a Bushcronium molecule, 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 that radiates orders of magnitude more energy, albeit as incoherent noise, since it has 1/2 as many peons but twice as many morons.

2. How does Bushcronium interact with that volatile gas, Cheneysawnium? nt

4. Great! I love it and I passed it on to several others who may not have
received their copy of Science News yet .

6. Yes, and Foxnewsium Glows in the dark and...
causes Foxnewsium radiation poisoning to those who are not inoculated from a form of anemia called gulliblium.

7. Very scientific. Now all this chaos in the order of the world
makes a bit more sense.
