<p style="text-align: justify;">A major research institution has recently announced the discovery of the heaviest element yet know to science.  This new element has been tentatively named &#8220;Managerium&#8221;.  Managerium has 1 neutron, 12 assistant neutrons, 75 deputy neutrons, and 111 assistant deputy neutrons, giving it an atomic mass of 312.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">These 312 particles are held together by forces called morons, which are surrounded by vast quantities of lepton-like particles called peons.  Since Managerium 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 Managerium causes one reaction to take over 4 days to complete when it would normally take less than a second.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Managerium has a normal half-life of 3 years; it does not decay but instead undergoes a reorganisation in which a portion of the assistant neutrons and deputy neutrons exchange places.  In fact, Managerium&#8217;s mass will actually increase over time, since each reorganisation causes some morons to become neutrons, forming isodopes.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">The characteristic of moron-promotion leads some scientists to speculate that Managerium is formed whenever morons reach a certain quantity in concentration.  This hypothetical quantity is referred to as &#8220;Critical Morass&#8221;.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">You will know it when you see it.*</p>
