A chemistry professor posted a bonus question to an exam...
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 go out with you", and take into account the fact that I went out 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".

Watch him ricochet off five stunned defenders like a pinball gone wild, bursting loose for a thunderous 25-yard touchdown scamper!

It's not a W for @TexasWBB if they don't get Sarah Graves involved. Kentucky called for a flagrant, anybody can shoot the FT's, Aaliyah Crump chose Sarah Graves

The image is a trick meme—no math needed. The 200 cm and 300 cm label the posts only. The dog appears in two unrelated setups with no scale, proportion, or equation linking its height to those numbers. You literally can't calculate it. That's why the Oxford PhD "can't solve" it. Classic gotcha! 🐶
European allies are publicly and privately telling American diplomats that Russia is directly and materially helping Iran's war efforts beyond what the U.S. will publicly acknowledge. 1/4

Is it appropriate for an FCC common carrier, shielded under 47 U.S.C. § 230 to force the consumer to modify settings on their computer that the consumer bought and paid for, ergo, I demand a share of the ad revenue for use of my hardware.

Just keep in mind Emmitt Smith played this game and the entire postseason after dislocating his right shoulder in the regular season finale.

This scene is a masterclass in movie shorthand. In seconds you get Maverick’s attitude, his history, how he flies, and the entire setup. And Tolkan absolutely nails it.
