This is the mythical third thread.

This thread will give all the answers raised by the first two threads.

Please treat this poll more seriously than the first two to avoid all Bob's work being wasted.

Also, kindly give solutions to the matters raised in not more than two sides of A4.

The Poll now gives an exclusive option not to vote at all.
If you wish to take advantage of this option, please vote accordingly.

Definitely both of them should be mascots... both Sams that is!

Pity there aren't enough of them to go around.

Good thing to SHED some light on the matter - that's her home address.

Now im confused even more, are we saying who is Sam, knowing that Sam mark 2 is Peter :hmm but then that means the first thread should be Sam the original and the second thread Sam mark 2.

Oh these polls are so confusing who started the dam things, lets have a vote on this then.

For those who haven't seen this report in my earlier post last year:-

Lawrence Livermore Laboratories has discovered the heaviest element yet known to science.  The new element, Governmentium (symbol = Gv), has one neutron, 25 assistant neutrons, 88 deputy neutrons and 198 assistant deputy neutrons, giving it an atomic mass of 312.

These 312 particles are held together by forces called morons, which are surrounded by vast quantities of lepton-like particles called peons.  Since Governmentium has no electrons, it is inert.  However it can be detected, because it impedes every reaction with which it comes into contact.

A tiny amount of Governmentium can cause a reaction which would normally take less than a second, to take from 4 days to 4 years to complete.  Governmentium has a half-life of 2 to 6 years.  It does not decay but instead undergoes a reorganisation in which a portion of the assistant neutrons and deputy neutrons change places.

In fact, Governmentium's mass will actually increase over time, since each reorganisation will cause more morons to become neutrons; forming isodopes.  This characteristic of moron promotion leads some scientists to believe that Governmentium is formed whenever morons reach critical concentration.  This hypothetical quantity is referred to as critical morass.

When catalyzed with money, Governmentium becomes Ad ministratium (symbol = Ad), an element that radiates just as much energy as Governmentium, since it has half as many peons but twice as many morons, and has the capability to occupy all the local available space, no matter how large.

Just as I thought.

First time I have seen that Max, it has to be a classic.

But is there honey still for tea?

That's a question for the fourth thread, Ian.

"But is there honey still for tea?", asked Thread Bear.

Oh my.  There are more Freds than we thought?  That Governmentium must have shed a few Morons along the way.

Though on second thoughts it can't do that since they can only be agglomerated into the Critical Morass.

This leads to the situation where, with a great sigh of relief (expelling everything apart from the consumed oxygen) the removal of Morons from Governmentium becomes known as an Oxymoron

After reading these last couple of threads i am off for a lie down :roll::thud

The only thing to do is put this thread in the Large Ardd-On Collider and get rid of it.

Is it me or does that suggestion sound vaguely smutty?  ;-)

It's you. You are vaguely smutty.

I'll admit it.  I've been outside playing with the steam trains again.  Vaguely smutty as a result :pathead

Is this thread going off topic?

And what topic might that be?

The topic you kindly started for us, Bob.

Do you think there should be a Poll on the "Watch Topic"?
I don't know a lot about watches but I'm sure there are members who do.

We'd better watch out then.

I used to work as a watch maker, but I didn't realise that Bob's test poll was about watches :exclam:exclam

Personally I wish it had been about Sam (both of them) and it would have been even better if it had been vaguely smutty.

I didn't vote by the way, I have developed voter fatigue.
