Is Hell exothermic or endothermic

smoke.me.a.kipper

This is forwarded from a graduate of the University of Oklahoma
School of Chemical Engineering Dept., citing one of Dr. Schlambaugh's
test questions for his final exam of 1997.

Dr. Schlambaugh is known for asking questions on his final like, "Why
do airplanes fly?"

In May 1997, The Momentum, Heat, And Mass Transfer II final exam
question was, "Is Hell exothermic or endothermic? Support your answer
with proof."

Most of the students wrote proof of their beliefs using Boyle's Law
or some variant. One student, however wrote the following:

"First we postulate that if souls exist, they must have some mass.
If they do, then a mole of souls must also have mass. So at what
rate are souls moving into hell and at what rate are souls leaving?

I think we can safely assume that once a soul gets into hell, it does
not leave. Therefore, no souls are leaving.

As for souls entering Hell, let's look at the different religions in
the world that exist today. Some religions say 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 people do not belong to more than
one religion, we can project that all people and all souls go to Hell.

With the birth and death rates what they are, we can expect the
number of souls in Hell to increase exponentially. Now we look at the
rate of change in the volume of Hell.

Boyle's Law states that in order for the temperature and pressure in
Hell to stay the same, the ratio of the mass of the souls and volume
needs to stay constant.

Answer 1: So if Hell is expanding at a slower rate than the rate at
which souls enter Hell, then the temperature and pressure will
increase until all Hell breaks loose.

Answer 2: Of course if Hell is expanding at a rate faster than the
increase in souls in Hell, the temperature and pressure in Hell will
drop until hell freezes over.

So which is it? If we except the postulate given to me by Theresa
Banyan during freshman year, that "It'll be a cold day in Hell before
I sleep with you." and taking into account that I still have not
succeeded in having sexual relations with her, then Answer 2 cannot
be true.......thus Hell is exothermic."

The student, Tim Graham, got the only A.

****ing excellent.

Nerd! I wish I had seen this before my Chemistry Final (dealt with exothermic and endothermic stuff on it)

I'd love to know if it is actually true or another UL.
It f'ing brillant tho.

anichon

so what does this mean about heaven?

Do you really want to spend all eternity in
an empty cold place.............

sounds like sligo.

Its kind of the same as the Psychology exam UL

Students had to write an essay on the subject "What is Courage"

To which one student answered on his paper.

"This is"

He got an A.

It's a 2 year old thread which I dug up specially after remembering the story last night.

'tis indeed a very good joke!
