I prepared Explosive Runes today.

This is literally my entire existence.
Well, except for the prrple nrrples... I get all of those too.

Good thing I like the pain... well, to certain definitions of the word...

It is also the wrong Saint. It should be St. Florian.

I assume Saint Florian because he's the firefighting saint. (also very vivid in central Europe, being patron saint of lots there.)
It could be argued that Saint Eligius also is eligible -- being the patron saint of several trades, sometimes including electricians.

Or St Andrew - patron saint of cattlemen, for the cowboy electrician that installed that,
or St Genesius - patron saint of comedians, because that electrician is having a laugh,
or St Crispin - patron saint of shoemakers, because you're going to need new shoes after that blows you out of them,
or St Fiacre - patron saint of hosiers, 'cause that installation could blow your socks off,
or St Jerome - patron saint of spectacle makers, because whoever signed off on that needs new glasses,

Administratium

New chemical Element Discovered

The heaviest element known to science was recently discovered by investigators at a major U.S. research university. The element, tentatively named administratium, has no protons or electrons and thus has an atomic number of 0. However, it does have one neutron, 125 assistant neutrons, 75 vice neutrons and 111 assistant vice neutrons, which gives it an atomic mass of 312. These 312 particles are held together 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 causes one reaction to take over four days to complete when it would have normally occurred in less than a second.

Administratium has a normal half-life of approximately three years, at which time it does not decay, but instead undergoes a reorganization in which assistant neutrons, vice neutrons and assistant vice neutrons exchange places. Some studies have shown that the atomic mass actually increases after each reorganization.

Research at other laboratories indicates that administratium occurs naturally in the atmosphere. It tends to concentrate at certain points such as government agencies, large corporations, and universities. It can usually be found in the newest, best appointed, and best maintained buildings.

Scientists point out that administratium is known to be toxic at any level of concentration and can easily destroy any productive reaction where it is allowed to accumulate. Attempts are being made to determine how administratium can be controlled to prevent irreversible damage, but results to date are not promising.

Copper wire and communication evolution...received by email.....


After having dug to a depth of 10 meters last year, Scottish scientists found traces of copper wire dating back 100 years and came to the conclusion that their ancestors already had a telephone network more than 100 years ago.
 
Not to be outdone by the Scots, in the weeks that followed, English scientists dug to a depth of 20 meters, and shortly after, headlines in the UK newspapers read: " English archaeologists have found traces of 200 year old copper wire and have concluded that their ancestors already had an advanced high-tech communications network a hundred years earlier than the Scots.
 
One week later, "The Kerryman," a southwest Irish newsletter, reported the following: "After digging as deep as 30 meters in peat bog near Tralee ,Paddy O'Droll, a self taught archaeologist, reported that he found absolutely nothing.

Paddy has therefore concluded that 300 years ago Ireland had already gone wireless.

One for mnementh.
