	Hey, buddy! I had asked the same question before but have yet to receive
	any response. Since I am too impatient to wait any longer, I decided to
	to find out the answer by myself.

	Under the suggestion made by my Sarcasm 101 professor, I travelled to
	a research center known as the Darwin Center of Recreational Study
	of Human and Organism, or rec.humor for short. I raised the question
	I have in mind to some Nobel Prize winning scientists, and here is the
	answer they gave me...

	Lemme see...The basic elements of sarcasm consists of a whole bunch of peanut
	like particles not yet completely known to man. Two of the most abundant
	elements are the moronium and the tanium. There are no protons or
	electrons and therefore has an atomic number of zero. However, it does have 1 
        neutron, 3 assistant neutrons, 2 "tua kongs" and 5 king-kongs. This 
	gives it an atomic mass of 11. These neutrons and tua kongs and king-kongs
        reside in a neuclues like core known as Saigon. They are held together by a 
        force that involves the continuous exchange of meson-like particles called
	morons.
	
	This element, first discovered by Perry Mason of Merrill Lynch,
        exhibit both moronic and hypocratic wave-particle behavior. It also
	posses electrodynamic properties and can be electrically charged so that
	it can be accelerated to generate nonsense. However, when it 
        is overloaded by electric charges, it losses its cool. 

        Since the moron has no electrons, it is inert and innocent. It is  hard to be 
        detected since it's chemically neutral. However, once in a while, it does 
        appear when mixed with an acid called SCAcid. According to the discovers, the
	moron is extremely toxic and radioactive. So, please handle with extra care.


	It shows wave-like property under normal room temperature and pressure.
	However, it violates all but one of the laws established by Newton : for
	every action, there is an equally opposite amount of reaction. It obeys Einstein's
	relativity constaint of travelling at a maximum speed of 65mph (highway speed 
	limit that is.) When heated, they start to oscillate at microwave frequency and
	at the same time, emit photon-like particle called a "sua-ku". When they are
	at this sort of physical condition, it can travel from NY to Simon Frase in no
	time.	        			  		 

	Other properties :

			   Physical : kia-su
			   Chemical : kia-si

	Warning : Be extra cautios when dealing with it. Like valcano, it might erupt
		  anytime. Handle at your own risk. No refund after 7 days.

	For more details, call 1-800-SARCASM, or come to Wisconsin next summer, and take
	Sarcasm 101.

	Have a nice day. Enjoy the sunshine!



Happy! Happy!
