A revelation while we wait. - Dinosaur

While watching the news earlier I heard that scientists have made an important discovery.  It seems they have discovered a "Stupidity Virus."  I know!  It explains quite a bit doesn't it?  This must have been floating around in the water coolers at corporate for a very long, long, long, long time!  Not to mention certain other water coolers (just off the top of my head, say maybe at client sites).   Now we know where those people come from and what happened to them.   I read a post further down today about a Hoover vacuum promotion in the UK, those guys were defiantly drinking from that bad water cooler!

The last time science made such an important discovery was the addition to the periodic table: 

Scientists Discover New Element
By Jose Luis Preza

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 neutrons, and 161 assistant vice neutrons. This gives it an atomic mass of 247. These 247 particles are held together in the 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 with which it comes in contact. According to discoverers, a minute amount of Administratium added to one reaction caused it to take over four days to complete. Without the Administratium, the reaction occurs in less than one second. Administratium has a half life of approximately three years, at which time it does not actually decay, but instead undergoes a reorganization in which assistant neutrons, vice neutrons and assistant vice neutrons exchange places. Studies seem to show that the atomic mass actually increases after each reorganization.

Research indicates that Administratium occurs naturally in the atmosphere. It tends to concentrate in certain locations such as governments, large corporations, and especially in universities. It can usually be found polluting the best appointed and best maintained buildings. Scientists warn that Administratium is known to be toxic and recommend plenty of alcoholic fluids followed by bed rest after even low levels of exposure.
