102 Humans/Misunderstandings/Oxymoron

Most think that an oxymoron is a conjoining of contradictory terms. Examples often cited are United States, military intelligence or a funny Jew. All of those examples by that definition are not oxymoronic; the States are united in their love of massacring the English language, military intelligence is very clever but often misguided, and there are funny Jews; Woody Allen and Leet Fabric are just 2 fine examples, both annoying yes, but also funny.
Oxymoron is actually a chemical compound yet to be discovered. It is a combination of oxygen and a super heavy element that will eventually be synthesised called Moron. Moron is a radioactive noble gas with an atomic number of 150 and a half-life of 10-44 seconds. The Planck time is 5.4 x 10-44 seconds, the earliest time after the Big Bang that theoretical physics can describe. But as discussed previously they are wrong (see 83 Entertainment/Comedy/Urban Myths). There is only one thing quicker than Moron’s half-life, Leet Fabric opening and closing his wallet at the bar.
Moron is so named because you would have to be a total mental defective an utter Planck to try and detect it.
