But, I'll give it a shot
Hey, Had to do some modifying
"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 H*ll 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
H*ll is changing in time. So we need to know the rate at which souls are
moving into H*ll and the rate at which they are leaving. I think that we can
safely assume that once a soul gets to H*ll, it will not leave. Therefore, no
souls are leaving. As for how many souls are entering H*ll, 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 H*ll. 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 H*ll. With birth and death
rates as they are, we can expect the number of souls in H*ll to increase
exponentially. Now, we look at the rate of change of the volume in H*ll
because Boyle's Law states that in order for the temperature and pressure in
H*ll to stay the same, the volume of H*ll has to expand proportionately as
souls are added. < /P>
This gives two possibilities:
1. If H*ll is expanding at a slower rate
than the rate at which souls enter H*ll, then the temperature and pressure in
H*ll will increase until all H*ll breaks loose.
2. If H*ll is expanding at a rate faster
than the increase of souls in H*ll, then the temperature and pressure will
drop until H*ll 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 H*ll
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
H*ll is exothermic and has already frozen over. The corollary of this theory
is that since H*ll 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."
