The following is an actual question given on a University of Washington chemistry mid-term. The answer was so "profound" that the professor shared it with colleagues, which is 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 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 with 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. 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 on 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 Ms. 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 over.

Ha
It\'s kinda funny.

i swear that was the 1st joke posted on the internet, ever
and this was the second:
"Excerpt from a recent live radio interview on one of the regional Welsh stations:
A female newscaster is interviewing the leader of a Youth club:
Interviewer:- So, Mr. Jones, what are you going to do with these children on this adventure holiday?
Jones:- We\'re going to teach them climbing, abseiling, canoeing, archery, shooting...
Interviewer:- Shooting! That\'s a bit irresponsible isn\'t it?
Jones:- I don\'t see why, they\'ll be properly supervised on the range.
Interviewer:- Don\'t you admit that this is a terribly dangerous activity to be teaching children?
Jones:- I don\'t see how, we will be teaching them proper range discipline before they even touch a firearm.
Interviewer:- But you\'re equipping them to become violent killers.
Jones:- Well, you\'re equipped to be a prostitute but you\'re not one are you?
Needless to say, the interview was terminated almost immediately...... "

pretty funny stuff
-
I haven\'t heard mm\'s joke.
-
You have some type of point mm? I havent heard either untill today as well as some others in here aparently. Old or not..funny needs to be shared in this world.
-
Both were pretty funny. Tehe. luckee\'s was funny. I wonder if the kid got the bonus question or not.
-
There both new to me!
Funny stuff!
-
Funny ones :laughing:
Titan, if a guy replies that in a test in Spain, there is no bonus :D

Here\'s a better college joke...
4 students were doing so well in their Chemistry course that they decided on the weekend of the final, they would go off to a wild party instead. They got so drunk that they missed the final and told the professor that they had a flat tire in the middle of the night and couldn\'t make it back until after the final. So the professor gave them the makeup, put them in separate rooms and they began the test.
The first question was "What is the symbol for Hydrogen? (5 points)"
"Cool", they thought. "This is gonna be easy." They answer it and turn the page and saw the next question...
"WHICH TIRE? (95 points)"

:nut: :laughing: soo funny !
