A shout-out today to J. D. for gracing the tip jar. Thanks to you, and also to the monthly contributors for your ongoing support of the site. And now, courtesy of Andrew Y., let’s meet a ferret who has something very important to show us, and she is not taking “no” for an answer.

Scientists have recently discovered a new element called ferretium. Shown in this model, the highly unstable element consists of a single electron chasing after a positively charged moron.

Nice find, Faye.
