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 that Hell is exothermic and has already frozen over, then 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."

A little girl was talking to her teacher about whales. The teacher said it was physically impossible for a whale to swallow a human because even though it was a very large mammal its throat was very small.
The little girl stated that Jonah was swallowed by a whale. Irritated, the teacher reiterated that a whale could not swallow a human; it was physically impossible.
The little girl said, "When I get to heaven I will ask Jonah".
The teacher asked, " What if Jonah went to hell?"
The little girl replied, "Then you ask him".

A Sunday school teacher: was discussing the Ten Commandments with her five and six year olds.
After explaining the commandment to "honor" thy Father and thy Mother, she asked, "Is there a commandment that teaches us how to treat our brothers and sisters?"
Without missing a beat one little boy: (the oldest of a family) answered, "Thou shall not kill."
=================================================================
One day a little girl was sitting and watching her mother do the dishes at the kitchen sink. She suddenly noticed that her mother had several strands of white hair sticking out in contrast on her brunette head.
She looked at her mother and inquisitively asked, "Why are some of your hairs white, Mom?"
Her mother replied, "Well, every time that you do something wrong and make me cry or unhappy, one of my hairs turns white."
The little girl thought about this revelation for a while and then said, "Momma, how come ALL of grandma's hairs are white?"
=================================================================
The children were lined up in the cafeteria of a Catholic elementary school for lunch. At the head of the table was a large pile of apples. The nun made a note, and posted on the apple tray: "Take only ONE. God is watching."
Moving further along the lunch line, at the other end of the table was a large pile of chocolatechip cookies.
A child had written a note, "Take all you want. God is watching the apples.

Two doctors opened offices in a small town and put up a sign reading:
"Dr. Smith and Dr. Jones, Psychiatry and Proctology."

The town elders were not too happy with the sign, and they proposed:
"Hysterias and Posteriors."

The doctors didn't find it acceptable, so they suggested:
"Schizoids and Hemorrhoids."

The town didn't like that either and countered with:
"Catatonics and High Colonics."

Thumbs down again. By now the story was in the papers, and suggestions began rolling in:

"Manic-depressives and Anal-retentives."

"Minds and Behinds."

"Lost Souls and ***-holes."

"Analysis and Anal Cysts."

"Nuts and Butts."

"Freaks and Cheeks."

"Loons and Moons."

None of these satisfied one side or the other, but they finally settled on
"Dr. Smith and Dr. Jones, Odds & Ends."

Five surgeons are discussing who are the best patients to operate on.

The first surgeon says, "I like to see accountants on my operating table because when you open them up, everything inside is numbered."

The second responds, "Yeah, but you should try electricians! Everything inside them is color coded."

The third surgeon says, "No, I really think librarians are the best; everything inside them is in alphabetical order."

The fourth surgeon chimes in: "You know, I like construction workers. Those guys always understand when you have a few parts left over at the end, and when the job takes longer than you said it would."

But the fifth surgeon shut them all up when he observed: "You're all wrong. Politicians are the easiest to operate on: There's no guts, no heart, no balls, no brains and no spine, and the head and the butt are interchangeable."

Children's Vision...

HONESTY
My son Zachary, 4, came screaming out of the bathroom to tell me he'd dropped his toothbrush in the toilet. So I fished it out and threw it in the garbage. Zachary stood there thinking for a moment, then ran to my bathroom and came out with my toothbrush. He held it up and said with a charming little smile, "We better throw this one out too then, 'cause it fell in the toilet a few days ago.

KETCHUP
A woman was trying hard to get the ketchup to come out of the jar. During her struggle the phone rang so she asked her 4-year-old daughter to answer the phone. "It's the minister, Mommy," the child said to her mother. Then she added, "Mommy can't come to the phone to talk to you right now. She's hitting the bottle."

NUDITY
I was driving with my three young children one warm summer evening when a woman in the convertible ahead of us stood up and waved. She was stark naked! As I was reeling from the shock, I heard my 5-year-old shout from the back seat, "Mom! That lady isn't wearing a seat belt!

MORE NUDITY
A little boy got lost at the YMCA and found himself in the women's locker room. When he was spotted, the room burst into shrieks, with ladies grabbing towels and running for cover. The little boy watched in amazement and then asked, "What's the matter haven't you ever seen a little boy before?"

ELDERLY
While working for an organization that delivers lunches to elderly shut-ins, I used to take my 4-year-old daughter on my afternoon rounds. The various appliances of old age, particularly the canes, walkers and wheelchairs, unfailingly intrigued her. One day I found her staring at a pair of false teeth soaking in a glass. As I braced myself for the inevitable barrage of questions, she merely turned and whispered, "The tooth fairy will never believe this!"

DRESS-UP
A little girl was watching her parents dress for a party. When she saw her dad donning his tuxedo, she warned, "Daddy, you shouldn't wear that suit." "And why not, darling?" "You know that it always gives you a headache the next morning."

SCHOOL
A little girl had just finished her first week of school. "I'm just wasting my time," she said to her mother. "I can't read, I can't write and they won't let me talk!"

BIBLE
A little boy opened the big family bible. He was fascinated as he fingered through the old pages. Suddenly, something fell out of the Bible. He picked up the object and looked at it. What he saw was an old leaf that had been pressed in between the pages. "Mama, look what I found", the boy called out." What have you got there, dear?" With astonishment in the young boy's voice, he answered, "I think it's Adam's underwear

A young man goes to buy the best car on the market, a brand new Ferrari GT.
It is also the most expensive car in the world, and it costs him $500,000.
He takes it out for a spin and stops at a red light.
An old man on a Moped, looking about 100 years old, pulls up next to him.
The old man looks over at the sleek, shiny car and asks, "What kind of car
ya' got there sonny?"
The young man replies, "A Ferrari GTO. It cost half a million dollars!"
"That's a lot of money," says the old man. "Why does it cost so much?" "
Because this car can do up to 320 miles an hour!" he states proudly. The
old moped driver asks, "Mind if I take a look inside?" "No problem,"
replies the owner. So the old man pokes his head in the window and looks
around.
Then, sitting back on his Moped, the old man says, "That's a pretty nice
car, all right...but I'll stick with my Moped!" Just then the light
changes, so the young guy decides to show the old man what his car can do.
He floors it, and within 30 seconds, the speedometer reads 160 mph.
Suddenly, he notices a dot in his rear view mirror. It seems to be getting
closer! He slows down to see what it could be and suddenly Whoosh!
something whips by him going much faster!
"What on earth could be going faster than my Ferrari?" the young man asks
himself. He floors the accelerator and takes the Ferrari up to 250 mph.
Then, up ahead of him, he sees that it's the old man on the Moped!
Amazed that the Moped could pass his Ferrari, he gives it more gas and
passes the moped at 275 mph. WHOOOOOOOSHHHHH! He's feeling pretty good until he looks in his mirror and sees the old man gaining on him AGAIN!
Astounded by the speed of this old guy, he floors the gas pedal and takes
the Ferrari all the way up to 320 mph. Not ten seconds later, he sees the
Moped bearing down on him again! The Ferrari is flat out, and there's
nothing he can do! Suddenly, the Moped plows into the back of his Ferrari,
demolishing the rear end. The young man stops and jumps out, unbelievably
the old man is still alive! He runs up to the mangled old man and says, "Oh
My God! Is there anything I can do for you?"
The old man whispers... "UNHOOK...MY...SUSPENDERS...FROM...YOUR...SIDE
VIEW....MIRROR!"

It is hard to find a joke today without a dirty word or two in it, but here is one:

Two tall trees, a birch and a beech, are growing in the woods. A small tree begins to grow between them, and the beech says to the birch, "Is that a son of a beech or a son of a birch?" The birch says he cannot tell.

Just then a woodpecker lands on the sapling. The birch says, "Woodpecker, you are a tree expert. Can you tell if that is a son of a beech or a son of a birch?"

The woodpecker takes a taste of the small tree. He replies, "It is neither a son of a beech nor a son of a birch. It is, however, the best piece of ash I have ever plunged my pecker into."

"There is nothing in life that compares with running a locomotive at 80-plus mph with the windows open, the traction motors screaming, the air horns fighting the rush of incoming air to make any sound at all, automobiles on adjacent highways trying and failing to catch up with you, and the unmistakable presence of raw power. You ride with fear in the pit of your stomach knowing you do not really have control of this beast." - D.C. Battle [Trains 10/2002 issue, p74.]

Telemarketing Strategy

The phone rang as I was setting down to my anticipated evening meal,
and as I answered it I was greeted with "Is this Karl Brummer". Not sounding
anything like my name, I asked who is calling? The telemarketer said
he was with The Rubber band Powered Freezer company or something like
that.


Then I asked him if he knew Karl personally and why was he calling this
number. I then said off to the side, "get really good pictures of the
body and all the blood", then turned back to the phone and advised the
caller that he had entered a murder scene and must stay on the line
because we had already traced this call and he would be receiving a summons to
appear in the local courthouse to testify in this murder case.



I then questioned the caller at great length as to his name, address, phone
number at home, at work, who he worked for, how he knew the dead guy and could
he prove where he had been about one hour before he made this call. The
telemarketer was getting very concerned and his answers were given in a
shaky voice. I then told him we had located his position and the
police were entering the building to take him into custody, at that point I
heard the phone fall and the scurrying of his running away.



My wife asked me as I returned to our table why I had tears streaming down my face and so
help me, I couldn't tell her for about fifteen minutes. My meal was cold,
but after what I had pulled, it was the best meal in a long, long time.

A husband in his back yard is trying to fly a kite. He throws the kite up in the air, the wind catches it for a few seconds, then it comes crashing back down to earth. He tries this a few more times with no success.

All the while, his wife is watching from the kitchen window, muttering to herself how men need to be told how to do everything. She opens the window and yells to her husband, "You need a piece of tail."

The man turns with a confused look on his face and says, "Make up your mind. Last night, you told me to go fly a kite."

Domestic Tranquility

A husband and wife go to a counselor after 15 years of marriage. The counselor asks them what the problem is. The wife goes into a tirade listing every problem they have ever had in the 15 years they've been married. She goes on and on and on. Finally, the counselor gets up, goes around the desk, embraces the woman and kisses her passionately. The woman shuts up and sits quietly in a daze. The counselor turns to the husband and says, "That is what your wife needs at least three times a week. Can you do that?" The husband thinks for a moment and replies, "Well, I can get her here Monday and Wednesday; but Friday, I play golf."

Donald Rumsfeld is giving the President his daily briefing.
He concludes by saying: "Yesterday, 3 Brazilian soldiers were killed."

"OH NO!" the President yells. "That's TERRIBLE!"

His staff sits stunned at this display of emotion,
nervously watching as the President sits, head in hands.

Finally, the President looks up and asks,

"Exactly how many is a Brazillion?"

URGENT WARNING


Police today warned all men who frequent yacht clubs and dock parties to
stay cautious when offered drinks by women. Females are using a date rape
drug called "beer" to target unsuspecting men. This drug comes in liquid
form and is available nearly everywhere. "Beer" is used by female predators
to persuade helpless male victims to go home with them. Women need only
persuade a man to consume a few of these "beers" and then ask him home for
no-strings-attached sex, a simple approach that renders most men helpless.

After several "beers," men will have sex with even unattractive women. Often
men awaken with only hazy memories of the night before, a horrible headache,
and a vague feeling that something bad happened. Some really unfortunate men
are even separated from their life's savings in a scam called "a
relationship." In extreme cases, females have entrapped unsuspecting males
into long-term servitude through a punishment called "marriage."

Apparently, men are much more susceptible to this scam once "beer" is
administered. Forward this warning to every male you know. And if you, or
some man you know, has fallen victim to this insidious "beer" and the
predatory women who administer it. Rest assured: male support groups exist
in every major city where you can discuss the ugly details of your encounter
in an open and frank manner with similarly affected, like-minded guys. For
the support group nearest you, look in the Yellow Pages under "Golf
Courses."

An Amish boy and his father from a very small town were in a nearby mall. They were amazed by almost everything they saw, but especially by two shiny, silver walls that could move apart and then slide back together again. The boy asked what is this Father?"

The father never having seen an elevator responded, "Son, I have never seen anything like this in my life, I don't know what it is." While the boy and his father were watching in amazement, a fat old lady in wheel chair moved up to the moving walls and pressed a button. The walls opened and the lady rolled between them into a small room. The walls closed and the boy and his father watched small circular numbers above the walls light up sequentially. They continued to watch until it reached the last number and then began to light in the reverse order. Finally the walls opened and a gorgeous 24-year old blonde stepped out.

The father said quietly to his son...

"Go get your mother."

UNSTOPPABLE VIRUS

I thought you would want to know about this e-mail virus. Even the
most
advanced programs from Norton or McAfee cannot take care of this
one.

It appears to affect those who were born prior to 1965.

Symptoms:

1. Causes you to send the same e-mail twice. done that!
2. Causes you to send a blank e-mail! that too!
3. Causes you to send e-mail to the wrong person. yep!
4. Causes you to send it back to the person who sent it to you.
who me?
5. Causes you to forget to attach the attachment. well darn!
6. Causes you to hit "SEND" before you've finished. oh no - not
again!
7. Causes you to hit "DELETE" instead of "SEND." and I just hate
that!
8. Causes you to hit "SEND" when you should "DELETE." Oh No!

IT IS CALLED THE "C-NILE VIRUS."
