Is Hell exothermic or endothermic?

.
HELL EXPLAINED BY A CHEMISTRY STUDENT

The following was a bonus question given on a University of NSW chemistry second year exam paper.

The answer by one student was so "profound" however that the lecturer had to share it with colleagues.

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. 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 Theresa during my first year at uni 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 anymore souls and is, therefore, extinct ... leaving only Heaven, thereby proving the existence of a divine being which explains why, last night, Theresa kept shouting "Oh, my God."

This student received the only "A"

If only I had my own hairdresser ...

So I got a haircut yesterday, and for the first time ever I actually got them to wash and blow-dry as well ... man, did it look hot! Straight hair looks so much better than the curly-wavy-doobee that usually goes on on top of my head! If only I could be bothered to blow-dry my own hair every so often. Nah, actually, if only I had my own personal hairdresser at my service every day. Well, it was good while it lasted ...

Poor damn dolphins!

Ok, so you know how when you go fishing ... you kind of hook a fish and chuck it in a bucket while it's still squirming, and then later you hack it open and scale it so it's ready to cook ... That doesn't really phase you, does it? So why does this video make me almost wanna puke?! Replace fish with dolphin and all of a sudden it's really sickening ...



Is this why you're a vego Pauly?

I'm a muso; hear me twang!

I have a problem ... I wanna learn to play just about every musical instrument in existence. Only trouble is that I'm hopeless at brass (well, judging from my whole 2 or 3 attempts that is), good sounding instruments cost too much damn money (actually, so do the bad sounding ones!), and I'll never actually play any single instrument well if I keep picking up another one!

To date, I play the guitar, bass, viola and violin. I also have a keyboard, three kinds of ocarinas, and two kinds of quenas waiting to be learnt. I can play a few rhythms on the drums, so I'm thinking that I should encourage my brother to take up my neighbour's old kit. On top of that, I reckon it would be cool to get a Sax and a Bagpipe to learn, but only if you buy them for me. :P

Or perhaps I should just stick to the ones I can already play ...

A big year for parties!

I'm sure you'll all be glad to know that this year is gonna be a huge year for parties! I mean we've got Paul's Finally-finished-Uni party, Paul's quarter-century birthday, Mon's 21st birthday, my quarter-century birthday, and my Finally-finished-Uni-again party!!! Oh yeah, and Mon has just moved, so we'll need a housewarming party there. And if Paul actually does move to Epping we'll have to have his housewarming party too. Sweet!

I've already kicked off the year with my God-brother's brother's 21st last night. I must say I have never seen such a humungus Yardie!


And there'll be plenty more of those to come :P

So, Hip-Hip-Hooray for the circle of life! ...


P.S. Is it just me, or does that top make my boobs look bigger?!
