    Talking Genius!!!

    Take a minute and digest this one..... be patient - it is well worth it


    The following is supposedly 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.

    Even if it is not true, it took some pretty creative writing!

    THE 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 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 the soul gets to Hell, it will not leave. Therefore no souls are leaving.

    As for how many souls are entering Hell, lets 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 in 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 the number two must be true, and thus I am sure that Hell is exothermic and has already frozen over.

    The corollary of the 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 THE ONLY "A".
    Back in the hope things have settled down...
