I post this in contention to KiwiJ's assertion that I had flawed logic.
HELLISH THERMODYNAMICS
The following is an actual question given in a University of Washington chemistry mid-term paper. 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 He11 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 He11 is changing in time. So we need to know the rate that souls are moving into He11 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 He11, 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 He11. 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, "...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."
The student received the only "A" given. (and rightly so)

I think that one might already be on page 298 of TKO.

Couldn't remember. If I could just use the search function...
Old age - but I do think my logic was spot on.

Peace offering:
Subject: Warning for Yankees WARNING Issued By The Southern Tourism Bureau To All Visiting Yankees
1) Don't order steak at the Waffle House. They serve breakfast 24 hours day, so let them cook something they know.
2) Don't laugh at southern peoples’ names. (Merleen, Bodie, Gertrude, Joe Boy, Sudie, Luther Ray, Tammy Ann, Mari Beth, Billy Bob etc.) These people have been known to whup a man's butt for less.
3) Don't order a bottle of pop or a can of soda. This can lead to a beating. Down south it’s called Coke. It don't make a darn whether it's Pepsi, 7-Up or whatever else; it’s a Coke.
4) Don't show allegiance to any college football team that isn't in the SEC. (Tennessee, Alabama, Mississippi, Georgia, etc.) All the others are just a bunch of pansies that play teams like Wyoming.
5) Don't refer to Southerners as a bunch of hillbillies. We know our heritage. Most of us are more literate than you (e.g. Welty, Williams, Faulkner). We are also better educated and generally lots nicer. We have plenty of business sense (e.g. Fred Smith of Fed Ex, Turner Broadcasting, MCI Worldcom, MTV, Netscape). Naturally, we do sometimes have a small lapse in judgment (e.g. Clinton, Fordice, Duke). We don't care if you think we are dumb, because we will whup your butt.
6) We are fully aware of how high the humidity is, so shut the heck up, spend your money, and get the heck out of here.
7) Don't order wheat toast at Cracker Barrel. Everyone will instantly know that you're from Ohio. Eat your biscuits like God intended and don't put sugar on your grits.
8) Don't fake a southern accent. This will incite a riot.
9) Don't talk about how much better things are at home because we don't give a darn. If you don't like it here, take your butt home.
10) We don't play lacrosse, hockey, or any of those other sissy northern games. So don't come down here asking the score because we don't give a darn.
11) We know how to speak proper English. We talk this way because we want to and because we can. We don't care if you don't understand what we are saying. All other southerners do understand what we are saying and that's all that matters. Now, go home.
12) Last but not least. DO NOT come down here trying to tell us how to make Bar-B-Q. This will get your butt shot. You're lucky we let you come down here. Question our Bar-B-Q and go home in a pine box. Yeahhhhhhh Buddy...YeeHaw! Mrs. W <~~~A bonafide Georgia "G.R.I.T.S." (That's " Girl Raised In The South" for all you yankee carpetbagger types out there! )

Well BigK, I just read where Australia is considering taking gitmo inmates.
Are the Americans taking a history lesson from the British?

Pio, don't know if you've been reading MikeC2's threads but if you're looking for another EA of the Todd variety I think he's your man. Hey, did you see my DD's wedding pics? She was a stunning bride and it was a stunning wedding.

Sadly without links however.
Anyone seen Darwin? Maybe he knows where the missing link is.

Beautiful bride. I'm thinking DNA tests might be in order.
BTW, where is the deadbeat "failure to launch" I've been hearing about?
