The following is supposedly an actual question given on a University of Washington chemistry mid-term:Is Hell exothermic (gives off heat) or endothermic (absorbs heat)?Here's what a student wrote:
With birth and death rates as they are, we can expect the number of souls in Hell to increase exponentially.
This gives two possibilities: 1. If Hell is expanding at a slower rate than that at which souls enter Hell, then the temperature and pressure in Hell will rise 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 by Teresa during my freshman year that 'it will be a cold day in Hell before I sleep with you', and take into account that I slept with her last night, then No 2 must be true, and I am sure Hell is exothermic and has frozen over.
It follows that it is thus, extinct... leaving only Heaven and proving the existence of a divine being, which explains why, last night, Teresa kept shouting, 'Oh my God.'
This student received the only A.
