BOYLE'S LAW:

A thermodynamics professor had written a take home exam for his graduate students. It had one question:

"Is Hell exothermic (gives off heat) or endothermic (absorbs heat)? Support your answer with a proof."
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:
First, we need to know how the mass of Hell is changing in time. So, we need to know the rate that souls are moving into Hell and the rate 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. 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 people and 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 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 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”

This is WAY funny. I am going to have to send this to all my engineer colleagues and teacher friends!! :lmao:
 
Thanks. Glad you enjoyed it but please know that I didn't write it. Someone shared it with me years ago. Laugh...it's good for the liver! :laugh:
 
Disparity will keep mom and pop out of this market for a few more years - that's definitely a plus for a contrarian such as myself. The bus travels faster with fewer people on board.

'Buy when there's blood in the streets' kinda thing. Makes sense but to be honest I'm still finding
it hard to 'walk the walk'. Obviously you clearly know what you're doing. :notworthy:
The following is simply FYI:

Buy When There's Blood In The Streets
 
One day a little boy walks into a barbershop. The barber sees him come in and whispers to a customer in the barber chair that the kid that just came in is the dumbest kid he's ever seen. He says 'watch, I'll prove it to ya'. 'Hey kid, take your pick' says the barber holding out both hands. In one hand is two quarters, in the other is a one dollar bill. The kid pauses a moment, takes the two quarters and leaves the barbershop. 'See, what did I tell ya?' says the barber. 'He does that every time, he never learns.' After the haircut the customer leaves the shop and notices the little boy coming out of an ice cream shop across the street with an ice cream cone. He walks over to him and asks 'Say kid, how come you took the two quarters instead of the one dollar bill?'. The little boy licks his ice cream cone, looks up and says 'mister, the day I take that dollar bill....the game is over'.

What's with the 'flat market' lately? Does that 'mean' anything? Gathering steam for a breakout up? Or 'red ink ahead'? Means nothing. (Nervous investor here - does it show? :worried:)
Stock market veterans...:feedback: Thanks! :notworthy:

Just my 2 cents:
