Here is something I found, I did not write it, but I think it's worth reading.
Just read till the end (or if you're too lazy to read it, leave this topic alone!).



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.

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 2 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."

This student received the only "A".

Good Scientific approach along with examples from real life. He amde it funny too, I would've also given him an "A".

LMAO, that is hilarious at the end about teresa.

*Lmao* Good 'refind', Aqo'. Altough I've seen it before, it made me chuckle a while especially that "Oh my 'Gawd'" part wich never had 'heard' until now.

I read that in the newspapers a week or so ago. Very good response. I didin't get to read the other part though.

I read that a few years ago and laughed for a long while about it. Ever since I read that, I've been adding humor into everything I've written - and I've never gotten any written paper back with less than a "B."

I read it a while ago too, maybe 2 years?

It's on bash.org too. That's where I saw it first.

lol, that was well....thought of, i guess I could say. He kinda deserved an "A", because he *ahem* oddly attached the scientific approach to the real life factor.

Well, that was an interesting read. I wonder if he got the A for good writing or because it was just different from the others in such a good way? Or maybe it was the only paper that didn't bore him to sleep..

That's classic. But I wonder if Teresa was ok with him outlining their sexual interactions in something that's being read by people.

Wouldn't the teacher change the names? .. . If he was smart...

...An "A?" When you really think about it the Teresa part doesnt really make sense—
UUUUUGH

But, yea, quite funny...

That's great That guy has the balls to write that for a school paper then he deserved that A. I started putting humor into school papers and I've gotten guarenteed "C's"

[center]I used to do stuff like this on tests at school, but apparently, none of my teachers had any sence of humor.

Explain in your own words the connection between black Thursday and the great depression:
In my own words, eh? Gleed bfan morw nuj kaliemet ronowat.[/center]

None of my teacher have a sense of humor too. But the 9th grade history teacher, because one time for the bouse question it was Whos is the our (forgot) in the senate. I had no clue so I wrote I.P. Freely as my answer, he thought it was funny but it didn't get me the point.
