Mood: Happy
Music: Cold- Stupid Girl

OMG. Look at my mood. No....look at it again. See what it says??? See it???? WHEEEE!! Lar's happy!! Lol. Would you like to know why Lar's happy? Ok I'll tell you anyway. ^_^

1.) Lar has a date to homecoming. That's like....woohoo. It's not every day Lar gets a date to homecoming. Fuck...it's not every day Lar gets a date at ALL. Lol! XD Ask me and you'll get a rant. Seriously.

2.) Lar is an offensive lineman--err...linewoman....for the Powderpuff football game. It's fixed so the seniors win, but it's still gonna be fun!! I already have a bruised ankle!! ROCK ON!!!!

3.) Lar LOVES psychology!!!!! My teacher rox my sox off!!!! I CRIED today I laughed so hard. CRIED!!!! Lol. You don't wanna know what we were talking about. Lol.

And now I will close with something copied....for I cannot see. Literally....I took out my contacts cos my eyes hurt. I am hunched over the screen, attempting to decipher the strange little blobs that are words...lol.


Hell and Boyle's Law
Chemistry Mid Term

The following is an actual question given on University of IOWA 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 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, lets 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 Ms. Teresa Banyan during my Freshman year, "...that it will be a cold day in Hell before I sleep with you." Taking 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.

The student received the only "A".
