Is Hell exothermic or endothermic ?

The following is an actual question given on a University of Washington engineering mid-term. The answer was so "profound" that the Professor shared it with colleagues, and the sharing obviously hasn't ceased...

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 off 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 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 us 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 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 Banyan 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 still have not succeeded in having sexual relations with her, then, #2 cannot be true, and thus I am sure that Hell is exothermic and will not freeze."

This student received the only A.

Chocolate Cupcakes with Flaming Strawberries

Courtesy: Sprinkle Bakes
Yield: About 20 cupcakes

Cupcakes:

3/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
1 1/2 cups all purpose flour
1 1/2 cups sugar
1 1/2 tsp baking soda
3/4 tsp baking powder
3/4 tsp salt
2 eggs
3/4 cup hot water
3/4 cup heavy cream
3 tbsp canola or other vegetable oil
2 tsp vanilla extract

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

Line muffin tin with cupcake papers and set aside.

Sift together cocoa, flour, sugar, baking soda, baking powder and salt into a large bowl. Add eggs, water, heavy cream, oil and vanilla. Mix with a hand held mixer until smooth.
Divide batter among muffin cups, filling each half full. Bake for 20 minutes. Let cool before frosting.

Frosting:
2 sticks softened butter
4 cups confectioners' sugar
4 tbsp unsweetened cocoa powder, sifted

In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with whisk attachment, cream together sugar, cocoa and butter; beginning on low speed then increase to high. Beat until fluffy and lightened in color. Transfer mixture to a piping bag fitted with a decorative tip. Frost cupcakes.



Strawberries:
18-24 Strawberries - you'll need as many as you have cupcakes
Vodka, rum, or your choice of liquor 80 proof or higher (over-proof such as 110 will give you a yellow flame)

Hollow the strawberries carefully. If you pierce the side of the strawberry accidentally, start with a new one. Since you'll be setting the liquor aflame, it is important that the strawberry is leak-proof.

Set one strawberry atop each frosted cupcake. Fill strawberries with liquor just before lighting (see tips). If you need to light them all at once, (say, for a party) use a turkey baster to quickly fill all the strawberries and a grill lighter in lieu of matches.

Let me tie my lace!

The bowler balls to the batsman's face
With spin fast or medium pace
But bravely does the batsman face
Because he has a helmet on his face

He hits the ball and the fielders race
And throw it back at the wicketkeepers face
For the next ball the baller goes to his place
"One minute" says the batsman, "Let me tie my lace!"

Dear makers of kaavalan,

Exactly what were you thinking trying show vijay as a gooey romantic poodle? I mean, do u people know about his stardom? have u guys even watched the kind of "megahits" this guy has given lately?

All which had only one underlying formula : Revenge + punch dialogues + pointless dream songs.

So why why WHY would you deviate away from the norm and potray him (TRY) as a romantic hero? I mean why would you do such mean things to him and break the hearts of millions of fan universe wide?

Asin was a pleasure to look at after a long time. there was this beautiful orange dress she was wearing in one of the duets..damn she looked hawt!

As mentioned above, a rekindled look of vijay which makes us think of sachein and priyamanavale maybe..

Minus^infinity

Unneccesarily twisted storyline which gave so much importance to the heroines that it makes you think they are not only silly but are also the orignal version of satan's minions... bluddy manipulative bitches. Ultimately the whole movie revolves around one stupid very very ancient prank.

I am sure this movie was better in the original malyalam version. its just made differently there.

If indian girls start dressing so.

If indian girls started dressing like how they are potrayed in traditional paintings at ultra posh restaurants, damn they'll look gorgeous! I love the microscopical intricacies in these paintings and how much life it brings to it is just so so so lovely!














If I were to own a college one day, I'll make it compulsary for girls to be attired so! =P

Coz' we've been brought up so?

A good friend posted on her fb that there are people celebrating india's one run win when they should be mourning for the pilgrims dead in sabarimala stampede. Yes I admit its not really a nice thing to see but the reality is that we are brought up this way. Parenting is to be blamed! I'll tell you why.

Take this for an example. A toddler falls down and starts crying. And what does the loving mother do? Well she is a mom so basically just anything and everything to quiet him and soothe him down. But if you look at it with extreme scrutiny, you'll see how she turns him into this cunning heartless culprit without even realizing it.

1. Distraction
This is definitely the first in line. She grabs the nearest toy / makes ridiculous faces to drift him away from the thought of pain. Mom happy kid happy. Who is to be blamed here?

2.Ill memory span
Soon, after getting excited over the new toy, the kid totally forgets why he was crying for.
I need to quote Siddharth here. (dint find the video sorry) We all have been accused for having ridiculously short attention and memory span. Guilty as accused but for a country with so much happening in every nook and corner, we cant help it. We were taught to get distracted remember?

3.Bribe
Ahh this is nasty. When plan A fails, she tries to woo him with ice cream / chocolates / cookies (mental note: must try the new brownie in canteen for lunch). Anyway, see this is the SOLE and probably the most ancient reason why a county seeps with corruption and money laundering.

I am deeply sorry for the pilgrims and wish to send condolences to every family, but there is pretty much nothing else to do but move on. Some people take lesser time than the others (depends on the element of distraction). And this dear friend of mine obviously finds it a little difficult. I honestly appreciate her concern and if I were anywhere around her, I would do my best to "mom" her too =) Its perfectly fair, either way.

Stranger

I met this kid in lab today who wanted to borrow my liq N2 tank. He is doing his summer internship in Monash Brain Research Center. He needed the tank urgently so he had taken it even before I went in today. I must admit I was a little pissed because I needed the tank today as well. But I couldn't help smiling looking at the neatly folded respectfully adressed note he left on my desk(damn I should have taken a pic of it). Then later when he met me at the carpark, he humbly appologized (many many times) I was wondering for a very long time whom did he remind me off then it occured to me that it was me.

Mental note: I say sorry way too many times =P

Why have someone as priority in your life when you are just an option in theirs'? You are the one being the idiot.

Change is the ONLY Constant

When people talk about individuality, it often leaves me perplexed. I understand that it is what make you you. But, isn't "you" a very much relative term? Every person we meet right from a bus driver who welcomes you with a smile to a boss who pierces you with an evil stern has some level of impact on you everyday. And if that is so, wouldn't you also be changing everyday every hour every minute and second? Hopefully, evolving for the better. My concern is that, when everyone is changing, why do we have this established dogma crafted for every individual based on how we perceive him/her? And it gets worse. When the person deviates slightly from there, why does it bother another? Yes, change is the only thing constant but how much of a change is acceptable? They should really have some kind of ruler to measure this. But, would you rally on your belief just to get a taste of this change ? Doesn't it bother you that you are a person who keeps compromising on principles?

A lot of question with no answers. I know typical of someone who is against change =/ I dont care, I love the way I am. And damn proud of that too!

Bright petals everywhere =)

I love it when I manage to make you laugh
I love it when my kerchief is so neatly ironed
I love how my lunch is packed in tiny little boxes
I love the fact that my petrol tank refills itself over the weekend
I love my clothes which smells like garden blossom
I love how you tuck my into my bed
I love how you sit by my bed and entertain my "5 mins more sleep" issues
I love your warm look which feels like a bottle of hope gushed down the throat
I love how you put ME before everything else
I love how you cheer me up and fill my cup
I love how you show me to serve, to accomplish, to persevere
You are my cushion when I fall
Your inexhaustible love, Amma and Nanna
And I thank you for all of it.
