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.'

fundraiser
So, once again I find myself having to ask for donations, if anyone out there can and wants to donate. I was hoping I would not need to do this, as I thought my stimulus money and income tax returns would get me through the rest of this year, but I ended up spending almost $2000 getting my truck repaired and inspected, and now I find I am almost broke again. Needing small donations to help pay rent and insurance and my internet service for the next couple months probably... while I determine what i plan to do for the future... If you can help out, that would be great, but if not, thanks anyway, I know most people are hurting as badly or worse than I am right now. I prefer direct donations to my paypal at fraterchaos@protonmail.com over the GoFundMe site... but either is appreciated! https://www.gofundme.com/f/zcaur-quarantine-assistance?utm_medium=copy_link&utm_source=customer&utm_campaign=p_lico%20share-sheet
Asking for your help
once again, I'm having to ask if anyone out there can maybe help out a bit? I got a call today about my internet bill... I need to come up with about $100 to pay the past due part, and almost $200 to be square with them. I would really like to not be stuck without internet service, but I just do not have the money to cover it now, as rent and insurance are also due. And the part about my truck still applies So, please, if anyone out there can help a bit, that would be awesome. I know everyone is on hard times right now, but even $10 from a few of my friends would make a huge difference. And as always, I prefer if you can send it by paypal (details below) as it arrives more quickly that way. Last week, the starter went out on my truck, so now I have no transportation at all. I'm not going to have enough money to cover all my bills this month, even not counting the new starter (starter will cost about $83 plus tax) and I need at least $50 for insurance, and I'm behind about
UPDATE
So, I am not at all happy with how Journals work in this new version... seems as far as I can tell, there's no way to edit an existing journal entry... So, anyway... to update my last entry, I'm currently suffering a bit of financial issues, due to Covid19 and the ongoing issues surrounding that. I am posting a link to my GoFundMe account, in case anyone out there would feel generous and wish to help out... no big deal as I know most of you are probably having troubles of your own. But I'll post the link anyway, and also mention that you can also help out by donating directly to my Paypal account, which I actually prefer as it avoids paying GFM an 8% fee... so, if you wish, please donate to fraterchaos@protonmail.com or visit http://gf.me/u/xx8nfc and thanks for taking the time to read this, even if you can't donate at this time.
if you're feeling generous
