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 (gascools 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 enterHell, 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 inHell, 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"

New Entry
Ello ma peoples.
6 days to go. And then.....Oslo...Croatia....It's gonna be soo cool. Goddangg.
We've found this amazing villa in a fishing village just outside of Dubrovnik that seems pretty laidback and cool. It has a view towards the Adriatic sea, and it seems peaceful and nice. And it's damn cheap 2. So I will definitely just relax and not think about anything else but having fun with my girlfriend and see the sights and stuff like that. S gonna be good i reckon.....
After a whole summer, not counting the few days of sun last week, has been rainy, and even dark here in the land of the midnight sun....Greyish definitely.....
So me can't wait till that flight takes off with me and Linda. Ah well.... Still some days of work before I take off from this wretched island.
But now! Dreamland! Yey!

He Had A Knife
I work at the council
It's a big building with shitloads of administration and local politicians.
We also house the social services. Therefore, we get a shitload of wacky people. All the originals/Alcoholics/Druggies of this small island. Now today I was scared. Real scared.
There has been incidents where I've seen people refusing to leave the premises because they're desperate, and the police having to come and force them to leave...But this guy was scary...
OKAY, so now we are a bit curious right? Ill tell ya:
I just came back after buying my lunch and was stood outside the council building chatting with a janitor I know. After a while I registered this guy that was wandering around the grass and the parkinglot. Looking quite confused and angry and pretty messed up on drugs. Now he was carrying a knife in one of those "knife holding pockets" (sorry bad language day). He was kicking and behaving in quite an agressive way, when he started to wander towards me. That's to be honest, one of the scariest things I've ever experienced. I tried to keep calm as he was passing me by. And ran into the building to warn social services that he was coming.
Got me thinking tho. You know, you have to be quite the desperate type or pretty messed up in your head to be wandering around like that, and also to be able to threaten someone with a knife. I don't understand why, in this rich country that Norway is, that we have a well-developed system that catches these poor people before it's too late, and some innocent party has to get hurt.
Ah so there you are. That's a bit of food for thought before we welcome the weekend and the nice weather. I'm'a gonna be so tanned people will think I'm hispanic (or maybe just a pig....A pink one....With blonde hair and blue eyes...hehe...AW WHO CARES, Pink is the New Tan I say!!)
