HELL EXPLAINED BY CHEMISTRY STUDENT
>
> 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 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."
