>From our member Bear, I thought this was worth sharing!<Grin>! I too would
have given this chap an A+ too! Great answer!
*HELL EXPLAINED*
*BY A CHEMISTRY STUDENT B. T.*
*The following is an actual question given on a University of Arizona
chemistry midterm, and an actual answer turned in by a student.*
*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,
which is unlikely.. 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.'*
*THIS STUDENT RECEIVED AN A+.*
