[Sa'ar Chasm]

[color=#000000ost_uid0]This seems cogent to the discussion at hand:

Microsoftium (Ms): comes in isotopes of 3, 95, 98 and 2000. Does not react with non-Ms atoms. In solid form, possesses extremely large volume per mole. Tends to decay to a useless state when the chemist isn't looking. Impossible to predict reactivity, 'cause it never reacts to the same conditions in the same way twice. Normally colourless crystalline powder, but will inexplicably turn blue and cease reacting for no apparent reason.

This is why science geekdom and satire are a bad combination.[/colorost_uid0]
