  • I thought

    I'd return with something amusing before I get to the serious/potentially dark stuff with the recent changes in my life.
    This is perhaps the best answer to a question I've seen.

    HELL EXPLAINED BY CHEMISTRY STUDENT

    The following is an actual question given on a University of Washington chemistry mid term. The answer by one student was so 'profound' that the professor shared it with colleagues, via the Internet, which is, of
    course, 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 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 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.

    Most of these religions state that if you are not a member of their religion, you will go to Hell. Since there is 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 proportionately 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. 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 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 slept with her last night, then number two must be true, and thus I am sure that Hell is exothermic and has already frozen over. The corollary of this theory is that since Hell has frozen over, it follows that it is not accepting any more souls and is therefore, extinct......leaving only Heaven, thereby proving the existence of a divine being which explains why, last night, Teresa kept shouting 'Oh my God.'

    THIS STUDENT RECEIVED AN A+.

  • simply having

    a homocidalthought of cliffrichard...not sure why

  • WTF

    Woman flushes baby

    http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/wales/7746292.stm

    at this point I'm speechless, but just showing I do still exist

  • Follow up

    Apparently the woman who's now engaged to the second life guy I mentioned said it was love at first sight....she was refering to his avatar, they've yet to meet. I'm not sure theres anything more to say to that

  • Well theres an option...

    I have to admit I do find this new second life story amusing

    http://women.timesonline.co.uk/tol/life_and_style/women/relationships/article5151126.ece

    I mean I can see the point because mmo's are generally for people to escape into another life, be someone they aren't already, and this game in question is called 'second-life' which kind of implies to me that its well, a second life you can lead. So I'm not entirely sure dating someone with your character is immediately cheating, but its a very blurry line.
    Oddly, according to the story, the solicitor that was used commented it wasn't the first time second-life had been cited for a divorce THAT WEEK..

    Anyhoo maybe its about time I finally installed the copy I downloaded months ago..a new career could be gained from it - online detective.

  • Still busy

    But i found this story on 1up.com and don't think theres anything really more to add, other than the story itself.

    What would you do if you were killing time in prison for wire fraud? If you're Johnathan Lee Riches, you apparently spend it filing rambling third-party motions to unrelated court cases.

    WoW Insider is reporting that Riches has filed a third-party motion in the Blizzard vs. MDY Industries suit that was decided earlier this year. His claim? World of Warcraft was responsible for "causing [me] to live in a virtual universe, where [I] explored the landscape committing identity theft and fighting cybermonster rival hacker gangs."

    Apparently Riches is an old hand at this, because he made the same claims about Grand Theft Auto 4 when he sued Rockstar Games earlier this year. According to Virtually Blind, he's also taken the time to sue George Bush, Michael Vick, National Public Radio, Barry Bonds, Plato and the Eiffel Tower. At the very least, he gets major points for originality on that last.

    As for World of WarCraft, it may have turned his mind into "a living video game" and caused him "to commit fraud to buy video games," but it looks like this particular motion will be dismissed on procedural grounds. Maybe he should stick to suing monuments?

  • Brand and Ross

    I find it weird that only 2 people who listened to the show when it actually went out complained about the incident..the numbers now in the 10s of thousands , so surely the majority of the people who have since complained knew they may be offended

  • Is it just me

    or does this kinda defy the point

    Attempts by supermarket chain J Sainsbury to boost sales by selling Wii and Xbox 360 game consoles at a loss have backfired after store managers from a rival retailer hijacked the promotion by buying nearly 1,000 of the discounted consoles.

    so if you missed out on this deal...now you know why. I'd say more but my brains dead...and fable 2 is here

  • dang it

    http://www.1up.com/do/newsStory?cId=3170818

    stories like this is why I wanted to have a blog, unfortunately if I have any hope of progressing at university I have no time for anything else so that and many other stories go uncommented by someone far from qualified to do so

  • huh

    who'd've thought it http://www.theargus.co.uk/news/3762835.Arms_factory_protest_turns_violent/
