Hell...exothermic Or Endothermic?

[sharkster]

this jus came in...i swear this bugger at suntel is being paid to forward nonsense...funny tho

The following is an actual question given on a University of Washington chemistry mid-term. The answer by one student was so "profound" that the professor shared it with colleagues, via the Internet, which is, of course, why we now have the pleasure of enjoying it as well.

Bonus Question: Is Hell exothermic (gives off heat) or endothermic (absorbs heat)?

Most of the students wrote proofs of their beliefs using Boyle's Law (gas cools off when it expands and heats up when it is compressed) or some variant. One student, however, wrote the following:

"First, we need to know how the mass of Hell is changing in time. So we need to know the rate that souls are moving into Hell and the rate they are leaving. I think that we can safely assume that once a soul gets to Hell, it will not leave. Therefore, no souls are leaving.

As for how many souls are entering Hell, let's look at the different religions that exist in the world today. Most of these religions state that if you are not a member of their religion, you will go to Hell. Since there is more than one of these religions and since people do not belong to more than one religion, we can project that all souls go to Hell.

With birth and death rates as they are, we can expect the number of souls in Hell to increase exponentially. Now, we look at the rate of change of the volume in Hell because Boyle's Law states that in order for the temperature and pressure in Hell to stay the same, the volume of Hell has to expand proportionately as souls are added. This gives two possibilities:

1) If Hell is expanding at a slower rate than the rate at which souls enter Hell, then the temperature and pressure in Hell will increase until all Hell breaks loose.

2) If Hell is expanding at a rate faster than the increase of souls in Hell, then the temperature and pressure will drop until Hell freezes over. So which is it?

If we accept the postulate given to me by Teresa during my Freshman year, "...that it will be a cold day in Hell before I sleep with you", and take into account the fact that I still have not succeeded in having an affair with her, then #2 above cannot be true, and thus I am sure that Hell is exothermic and will not freeze over."

THIS STUDENT RECEIVED THE ONLY "A".

wow... arent we busy today.....

i got this one too.. it was funny... i'll relate a story from school

i joined 6th grade 1 semester late and right at the time i was joining, it was final exam time for semester 1. anyways, the principal told me to take the exams and not to worry about the grades

for the first time in life i had the liscence to screw up and not get scolded for it. so i faced my exams like a man

it was the science test and one of the questions was "what is accomodation?" i see this question and i'm wondering why they would ask this. still not to be a smart ass i wrote "when a friend comes to stay over, you give them accomodation. THat means a place to stay"

well the week after they were going through the answers and only then did i know that they were talking about the accomodation in the eye. that crummy teacher even made me read my answer out to the whole class...

what the hell was this for??????

[sharkster]

what the hell was this for??????

i was a senior prefect n i didnt like him...ive got stories too man

[Pericles]

No wonder u 2 are the leading posters here. u go into these little mini Q&A tangents in the middle of threads

[fuzzo]

it's called thread jacking!

WARNING!!!!

we have two ppl that we have to stay away

just kidding
