I thought you would like to know the true author of the Administratium story. All of the information on Administratium is in the latest (summer 2005) issue of the Journal Of Irreproducible Results. The original author is William DeBuvitz and the first time it was published was in THE PHYSICS TEACHER back in the late 1980's.

Hope that these refrences may be useful.

From physicist Donald Simanek's pages. 'New Chemical Element Discovered' - William DeBuvitz (January 1989 issue of 'The Physics Teacher.') http://www.lhup.edu/~dsimanek/administ.htm

Ellin Beltz wrote an article for The Journal of Irreproducible Results (1994) on 'administrontium' and 'bureacratritium' - he gives credit to DeBuvitz for the inspiration/origin: http://ebeltz.net/resume/jir.html
