Administratium has no protons or electrons, thus having an atomic number of 0. It has, however, 1 neutron, 125 assistant neutrons, 75 vice neutrons and 111 assistant vice neutrons, giving it an atomic mass of [...]

It is frequently used for humorous [...]
The world’s best one-liner?
Tim Vine has been crowned king of the one-liners after one of his gags was named the best joke of the Edinburgh Fringe. Tim won for the gag:
“I’ve just been on a once-in-a-lifetime holiday. I’ll tell you what, never again.”
This Aussi-sourced YouTube on the European debt crisis was hilariously scary. It has been doing the rounds but I picked it up on Greg Mankiw’s blog.
I’ve decided to accept advertising on my blog.
A guy calls his buddy, the horse rancher, and says he’s sending a friend over to look at a horse.
His buddy asks, ‘How will I recognize him?’
