gives go to hell a whole different meaning.
The following is an actual question given on a University of
Washington chemistry mid-term exam. 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. Some of these religions
state that if you are not a member of their religion, you will go to Hell.
Since there are 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
Baston 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 sexual relations with her, then #2
cannot be true Therefore, it is certain that Hell is exothermic and
will not freeze
+++++++++++++++++
The student received the only "A" given.
Culinary School is going really great. I love it, but I miss my 2 best friends in the whole world. You know who you are, lol. Austin is great, ::don't hurt me ok Darlene?:: I might even become a UT Football fan. Oh, and I have a date with a guy named Matt that I met at McDonalds. He's really cute, and oddly enough might be Alex's cousin. We shall see. Hasta!
