    An Explanation of Hell

    *
    You gotta love this guy's explanation of hell.......

    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 when it expands and heats 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 at which souls are moving into Hell and the rate
    at which 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 slept with her last night, then number two
    must be true, and thus I am sure that Hell is exothermic and has already
    frozen over.

    The corollary of this theory is that since Hell has frozen over, it
    follows that it is not accepting any more souls and is therefore,
    extinct...... leaving only Heaven, thereby proving the existence of a
    divine being which explains why, last night, Teresa kept shouting "Oh my
    God."

      Not to be pedantic but are university grades offered on a A-U basis?
      A lot of people run a race to see who is fastest. I run to see who has the most guts, who can punish himself into exhausting pace, and then at the end, punish himself even more.

          Funny how they grade papers really. My school mate in high school got an A as well with his essey.

          We were writing an essey entitled "What's courage?" ...

          ...

          We were all writing bollocks about courage, while he just left it blank and wrote at the end: "That's courage".
