Okay so I got this email from my mom, it's a good thing she scans all these for me so I only have to see the good ones.


The following is an actual question given on a University of Washington
chemistry midterm. 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 off when it expands and heats up when it is compressed) or
some variant. One student, however, wrote the following:
I need to know the rate that 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, lets look at the different
religions that exist in the world today.
Some of these religions state that if you are not a member of their
religion, you will go to hell. Since there are 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. Of course, 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 Ms. Teresa Banyan 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 still have not
succeeded in having sexual relations with her, then, #2 cannot be true,
and thus I am sure that hell is exothermic and will not freeze.

The student received the only "A" given.



I thought it was pretty funny, It reminds me of a bonus question on my history exam in middle school. Mr. Tummy(I forgot his name but it was close to tummy, and he had a big tummy... soo....)

Well his question was:

Why?

I think all of us wrote this really long essay question explaining why history occured the way it did.. All except for one person who answered:

Why not?

he got an A we didn't, don't you hate teachers with a sense of humor? wink
