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 :
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.'
THIS STUDENT RECEIVED AN A+.
P.S. there is a become a fan thing in facebook for this :P
Ima be pretty random on this site, but I'm also pretty serious and I like to write out my views, which can be pretty controversial... Hope CIA doesn't come at my house one of these days.. hehe I'd like to think that I have a pretty deep understanding of the world, but there's still so much to learn too. I want to make a difference, I want to be heard. I'm still pretty young, but it could all start right here, right? So for who-ever cares to listen.. =]

六半: Proof That Einstein Was a True Genius
"Women marrymen hoping they will change.
Men marry women hoping they will not.
So each is inevitably disappointed." ~Albert Einstein

"Put your hand on a hot stove for a minute, and it seems like an hour. Sit with a pretty girl for an hour, and it seems like a minute. That's relativity." ~Albert Einstein

六: The Storm
So apparently there's a jinormous blizzard coming this way. Weather reports say it's supposed to come in at 3pm. Problem is.. : It's 5 pm and the clouds look pretty light.. haha oh weather people~~
五: Trail of Life
Life's like hiking on a trail. Keep looking back [living in the past] and you will trip on something that's right in front of you. Look too far ahead [planning too far ahead] and you miss the gorgeous scenery [opportunities]. Keep livin' in the present, and you're not really getting anywhere, right? There are splits in the path [life descisions], even sections that are washed away to the point that you have no choice but to take the other path [the inevitable]. Only one thing is for sure: when you decide to give up and just lay on the side of the path and die, you will never have truly reached the end. :] You've got everything to live for.

四: On War
So here's the first serious thought I'm putting here.
War is so dumb. What's the point of it? People killing each other doesn't solve the world's problems, it just distracts us from the real problems by creating an even larger problem. So say WWII. Who won? Neither side. It's impossible to win a war. No matter which side you are one, there is only loss: of life, of soul, or happiness, of relationships, etc. No amount of land or money can sum up to a life that was taken and can't be brought back. If a side does happen to not take any loss, it wasn't a war, it was a massacre; and the "winning" side lost soul. Even the U.S. Civil War, fought for "freedom". Were slaves really free after that? Certainly in a better position, but even then they were trapped by a hateful society and only truly earned their free status in the U.S. through reasoning and peaceful talks and movements. Women's rights today are far better than they were even 50 years ago. Did we fight a war over it? No! So who's to say that there are problems in the world that just can't be solved peacefully?! (I mean no dishonor to fallen soldiers, on any side.)
