: That was terrific!! : : : this is an email I got and I thought that everybody round these boards might enjoy it... : : Logic From Hell, : : The following is an actual question given on a University of Washington : : Chemistry mid-term: : : Is Hell exothermic (gives off heat) or endothermic : : (absorbes heat)? : : Support your answer with a proof. : : Most of the students wrote proof 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 goees : : into 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 people and all : : souls are going to Hell. : : With birth and death rates as they are, we can expect the mumber 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 in order for the remperature and the pressure in Hell to stay the : : same, the volume of Hell has to expand as souls are added. : : This gives two possibilities. : : 1)If Hell is expanding at a slower rate than the rate ar which souls enter : : Hell, then the temperature and the pressure in Hell will increase, until all : : Hell breaks loose. : : 2)Of course, 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 Ms. Therese Banyan during my : : freshman year, "That it will be a cold night in Hell before I sleep with : : you," and taking into account that the fact that I still have not succeeded : : n having sexual relations with her, then, #2 cannot be true, and thus I am : : sure that Kell is exothermic. : : This student got the only "A". : : -Z® : : "When you do it... you're thinkin about guys!"
