Hell: Exothermic? or Endothermic?
Dr. Schambaugh, of the University of Oklahoma School of Chemical Engineering, Final Exam question for May of 1997. Dr. Schambaugh is known for asking questions such as, "why do airplanes fly?" on his final exams. His one and only final exam question in May 1997 for his Momentum, Heat and Mass Transfer II class was: "Is hell exothermic or endothermic? Support your answer with proof."
Most of the students wrote proofs of their beliefs using Boyle's Law or some variant. One student, however, wrote the following:
"First, We postulate that if souls exist, then they must have some mass. If they do, then a mole of souls can also have a mass. So, at what rate are souls moving into hell and at what rate are souls leaving? I think we can safely assume that once a soul gets to hell, it will not leave.
Therefore, no souls are leaving. As for souls 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, then you will go to hell. Since there are more than one of these religions and people do not belong to more than one religion, we can project that all people and 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 in volume in hell. Boyle's Law states that in order for the temperature and pressure in hell to stay the same, the ratio of the mass of souls and volume needs to stay constant. Two options exist:
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. 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 quote given to me by Theresa Manyan during Freshman year, "that it will be a cold night 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 Option 2 cannot be true...Thus, hell is exothermic."

MIA?
Ok so heres the deal, I havent posted in like forever. I know this. I know this. I also know only around 5 folks might care to actually read such a page.
So for their peace of mind. Im alive. Im well. Im happy.
Real life:
I got a raise not too long ago. I was pleased to see this coming my way after only a short while on the job.
Rachel purchased her tickets to come up here for March 7th till 16th. I couldnt be happier for that.
I plan to get into airsoft this spring and summer. Im just waiting to order a gun and gear right now. Ive stared at the page for this gun over and over. I really want to buy it! So expect airsoft rants from me alot. I havent been thsi hyped about something since I was in high school and actually doing decent in x-country.
Its my personal thing that I want to get into things like CQC/CQB whatever you wish to call it. I like seeing tatical engagements. This is mostly due to my o.c.d. mindset to be a stickler about certain aspects of my life. CQC does this for me. It says ok, heres the plan, heres how we will enter, heres where you go in guns ready to light everything in your way up with bullets, here is where you exit job done. Power, precision, accuracy, and speed.
Gaming: The CoD4 HQ TWL team hasnt started up yet, I should look into this. I still love the fact that I have 1 goal to achieve in it. Be on top. Get the points, get the job done. I should cut down my chatter when I get into a rut of being shot down though. Im sure it annoys some of the {DS} guys.
Ah yes, {DS}DownwardSpiral still in it, still love hanging out with the guys. Looking forward to 2008 get together. Shoot I wish I could go to the hangout for BRM I enjoy all of them too. Alas that meeting is when I have Rachel here and an airsoft day.
As for WoW, Im almost done with this expansion as is. Archimonde, Reliquary of Souls, Mother Shahraz, The Illidari Council, and Illidan Stormrage himself. The guild is going strong and repeating first time kills in BT has proven to not be an issue. The current focus is Archimonde down and start getting that whole instance to under a one night clear. Time permitting we could see 2/9 BT and 5/5 Hyjal on a tuesday night. Then finish BT on Wed and dick around with Sunwell, once it comes out, on Wed., Thus., and Mon.
Swipes is still geared and keeping up the gear list. Paol is all going up in life again, still needing to change that name though.
You and I, we may look the same
But we are very far apart
There's bullet-holes where my compassion used to be
And there is violence in my heart
Into fire you can send us
From the fire we return
You can label us a consequence
Of how much you have to learn
You can try but you'll never understand
This is something you will never understand
Can you hear it now?
Hear it coming now?
Can you hear it now?
On hands and knees
We crawl
You cannot stop us all
you wear our bones
our skin
We will not let you in
You have set something in motion
Much greater than you've ever known
Standing there in all your grand naivety
About to reap what you have sown
Time will feed upon your weaknesses
And soon you'll lose the will to care
When you return to the place that you call home
We will be there, we will be there
On hands and knees
We crawl
You cannot stop us all
Our blood will stay
We will not go away
On hands and knees
We crawl
You can not stop us all
Our blood, our grace
Will never leave this place
Blog Watch!
Pulled this off of WoR. Its a blog article about a chinese teen who burned a kid then blames it on wow. Personally I think Mario was a better scape goat.
Comment left on blog: "i understand where this kid is coming from... ive been jumping on peoples heads in hopes that they will drop some golden coins."

The good, The Bad, and The Ugly
*insert theme music here*
The video below is the review video, linked to me by pj (WHO GOT IT FROM ADDISON), that basically has an angry Australian guy reviewing games. He talks fast, hence the name "No Punctuation", and uses small stick figures combined with random depictions of literal translations to what he says. The way he goes about the rants makes it a good laugh and worthy of ones time to watch.
Moving on.
Life is good. Could be better. Ill try not to complain too much. Rachel got her gift. She loved it, and Im glad she did. I just wish I could have seen her open it. *shrug* You get 'em how you can.
Rolling along with the punches.
I took my parents to see Imax "I am Legend" because I was feeling rich-esk after the work Christmas party. Yes, christmas party, not holiday. Theyre huge on being religous at work.
A story for another day.
I need to shopping for my family yet, Im slacking. My bad.
Shoot.
Back to the Xmas party thingy-do-hickey-ma-jiggy. I got $25 in cash from 1 game. A $170 bonus for only 2months time on the job as a part-timer. Also walked away with a decent gift from the amass of gifts the Owner of our company, and the other 2 in the building. He made us do a messed up version of musical chairs as we all grabbed a present then went and did a miss matched exchange on all that. I got a $35 gift card traded in for a small cd player/stereo system. Nothing too fancy mind you, but something nice none the less.
Next stop.
I think PJ is done with wow for good, if so I may have to steal his shammy that I helped bank roll finances for.
Shoot a fool.
Picked up a fellow WoW guildy, who works at a LAN center in Florida, to play CoD4 with us now and then. Which is cool by me, always room for more at the {DS} table Id say. Im absolutely loving CoD4. Up to rank 40, which means nothing other than having all guns unlocked really.
Stepping into the twilight zone.
Winter seems to have been fairly mild, personally, even though its been snowing the roads are kept nice and clear. I love that. I need that. Ditches call to my car.

New Movie
December 14th is the release of I am Legend Im just wondering if anyone cares to go with me to see it on Saturday. I think its even going to be on Imax if so then Ill try and catch it on that.
Been rather crummy lately. Having Rachel around was great. I love her all the more. Its almost the holidays and I need to get her somethin' really nice. She would say otherwise but poo on her. She bought me and sent me my gift early. I was shocked but w.e Im happy shes allowing my nerdism.
Work is going better, ever so slowly. Things seems to smooth out a little.
