Argon is a noble gas with atomic number 18 and atomic mass 39.99999999982 (so close...). It is known for being THE inert gas, as if neon and helium didn't exist. It's a common substitute for air, as their densities roughly match. However, inhaling argon gas will lead to piracy.

Physical[edit | edit source]
Argon is a dangerous substance because inhalation of it can lead to sailing ships with the Jolly Roger on it. Other side effects include:
- Copying video games
- Printing money
- Being dressed like Jack Sparrow
- Binge watching the entire Pirates of the Caribbean
- Masturbating to Pirates of the Caribbean
- A slightly lower voice than usual
Chemical[edit | edit source]
Argon, having a full outer shell, is an introvert who doesn't pair up with anyone. The same can be said for all the other noble gases. However, unlike those, Argon is just about as dense as the air you breathe, which is why it's so dangerous. While gases like xenon and krypton are heavier and helium and neon are lighter, argon sits right around the same density. The only way to know there's argon is by electrifying it.
History[edit | edit source]
Around 1894, two scientists, who for reasons explained above would prefer to keep their names a secret, noticed an increased amount of pirates over the last 20 years. That's when they discovered some strange inert gas attached to air. It occupied about 1% of all the air on the planet. They held a social experiment between people who were exposed to the gas and people who just had regular air. In the gas section, all 100 participants started acting suspiciously like pirates. This new gas was named Argon after the pirate's favorite letter of the alphabet.
Fast forward to the 1940's and people are just now realizing that gasses like krypton, xenon, and yes, argon, can be used to manufacture lightbulbs. People have, however, wanted to embrace the piracial tradition associated with argon, which is why argon is used so much in incandescent lightbulbs.
Controversy[edit | edit source]
Argon has, of course, gotten into controversy with several governments for its introversy and piracy. The United States were the first to take action, banning use of it in households. This angered the Internation Union of Pure and Applied Chemistry, for argon was used to help in chemical reactions such as hydrogenations and methamphetations.
Other countries, like members of the European Union, Great Britain, and Canada, started banning argon to move along with the US. This eventually caused IUPAC to form its own nation named, well, IUPAC. This angered the International Union of Pure and Applied Physics, for IUPAC was used to help in science meetings such as discovering new elements and discovering new drugs for the unions to get high off of. No wonder why they make the most radical claims.
Other unions, like members of PubChem, JMol, and science classrooms, started making their own nations to move along with IUPAC. This eventually caused IUPAP to move to the moon. This angered Earth, for IUPAP was used to help in keeping the world intact with simple equations such as Newton's laws and Walter White's methamphetamine recipes.
Other IUPAPs, like ones in different planets of the Solar System, Pluto, and Mars, started moving to the moon to move along with IUPAP. This eventually caused Earth to move to a different solar system.
Rinse and repeat this process until the entire infiniverse is at war.
