HELL EXPLAINED...so now we know...

HELL  EXPLAINED 

  ... BY A CHEMISTRY STUDENT*

     

     *The following is an actual question given on a University of Arizona

     chemistry midterm, and an actual answer turned in by a student.  *

     

     *The answer by this 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, which is unlikely. 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. *


 from grannysstore.com

     

     *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.


from funnybeez.com

   

 *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+.*

Our Beautiful Skaya is happy with her humans!!

News from Skaya's human!  (now Gorda)

Gorda has settled in nicely and we are loving her.  She is especially happy with our addition of central a/c this past August, not a bit to soon since the heat waves we had this summer were awful!  Little Gordine thoroughly enjoyed her cool comfort.

Sweet girl showed us a trick she taught herself on the 4th of July, hurdling out of her pen onto the ottoman.  I'm just glad we were here when it happened!!!  ;)  A quick trip to PetsMart for a new, 36" beautiful black pen has definitely remedied that situation.  We have Gorda on a routine that she is very used to now.  Every morning a 1/4 cup of oxbow bbt and a big plate of leafy veg, her favorites are definitely any variety of parsley and the few carrot shavings that garnish the top.  Gorda also enjoyed some berries this summer, as the 99 cent store was in constant supply of blackberries, raspberries, strawberries and blueberries.  In moderation of course, only one or two per day.

When Scott comes home from work in the morning lil' Fatty has usually finished half of her meal and they go outside in the backyard to play.  Although Gorda's favorite form of playing involves burrowing behind her favorite bush, she is known to get a little gumption in her and do some wind sprints across the yard.

I haven't been able to get Gorda to eat straight timothy hay but she absolutely adores the fresh oat hay I get from Whittier Feed.  When she gets a fresh litter box full every other day she makes short work of pushing and digging to get it just to her liking.  Each night before I go to bed we have an average of one hour "cuddle session" on Gord's pink blanket.  This is when little sweetheart settles down and relaxes and usually falls asleep on mommy's chest after much ear rubbing.  Eventually she makes it known that she's ready to turn in for the night (via biting the blanket) and gets her most prized treat of the day, one banana chip.  She looks forward to this treat like no other and has entertained us by another trick, walking on hind legs the length of the pen to "beg" for her treat.  

I can't tell you enough how much adopting this little bunny girl has brought so much joy to our home.  I'm trying to convince Scott to let me adopt another bun for companionship (I love Peri on your website) but for now I think Gorda will have to be an only child.  Looking forward to hearing about the poker night, hope you all are doing well.

Binkies,

Robin B

*Bunny Purrs*  "Darling, you look like you need some relaxation.  What could be more relaxing than petting an especially soft bunny?  That's right...nothing!  Now, lavish attention on me and I will return the favor with snuggles and perhaps a binky."

Heehee :)  This is Ms. Snugglesworth (umm AWESOME name).  She's an adoptable house rabbit with our friends Rabbit Match in LA.  You can read all about Ms Snugglesworth on her Petfinder page here.  Good luck softy!  :)

10.5 pounds of pure 140% proof adopted love...



I can't tell you how happy we are!!!  We've dubbed him Linus now, and he has taken to his new pen just fine; he knows where his litter corner is, he is happy where his water crock is set up.  But what we love the most is the fact that all he really wants to do is sit next to us on the couch and be pet!!!  Our beloved Thor was NOTHING like this!  He was extremely rambunctious and despite the fact that we loved him beyond belief, he honestly was not the friendliest of rabbits.  But not Linus, he is such a love!  Today he spent a good couple of hours curled up next to Haydn watching television.

He spent some time meeting the rabbit-in-charge, my dwarf Nibbler, but he didn't seem fazed by him.  Nibbler of course had to assert his dominance and do a little grunting and digging to let Linus know who's boss, lol!  The cats are curious about their new housemate but have welcomed him by sharing some of their favorite resting spots.

I can't tell you how happy I am that we chose to adopt rather than going back to the breeder and buying new!  I don't think we could have gotten such a well mannered bun anywhere else.  You guys do a wonderful job with all your rabbits.  Let me tell you, it was hard for me to leave with just one!


from Linus' new mom    we LIVE for emails like this one.  : )

and check Hudson's GIGANTIC bunny foot...

some of the fuzzkins needed a trim.
Kohana snoozes after spa day.

So Stacey had Ian wrap up little bunny burrito supremes so she could give them bunnicures.

Hudson's not quite convinced of the benefits of spa day.  Suspicious dude...

look at the size of that foot!!

Breaking news: Toilet paper changes could impact bunnies everywhere

Breaking news: Toilet paper changes could impact bunnies everywhere

tamaraswanson | October 28, 2010 at 11:26 am | Categories: All The News That's Fit to Eat, U.S. News | URL: http://wp.me/pTCF8-sE

OK, this isn't a joke.

BNN reader Tina sent in this story from USA Today, which could have serious implications for those of us who entertain our bunnies with cardboard TP rolls. Time to start conserving those rolls....

Kimberly-Clark rolls out tube-free Scott toilet paperThe toilet paper roll is about to undergo its biggest change in 100 years: going tubeless.

On Monday, Kimberly-Clark, one of the world's biggest makers of household paper products, will begin testing Scott Naturals Tube-Free toilet paper at Walmart and Sam's Club stores throughout the Northeast. If sales take off, it may introduce the line nationally and globally — and even consider adapting the technology into its paper towel brands.

No, the holes in the rolls aren't perfectly round. But they do fit over TP spindles and come with this promise: Even the last piece of toilet paper will be usable — without glue stuck on it.

Suddenly, there's news in the $9 billion — but stagnant — toilet paper market. More important, it's got a "green" halo.

The 17 billion toilet paper tubes produced annually in the USA account for 160 million pounds of trash, according to Kimberly-Clark estimates, and could stretch more than a million miles placed end-to-end. That's from here to the moon and back — twice. Most consumers toss, rather than recycle, used tubes, says Doug Daniels, brand manager at Kimberly-Clark. "We found a way to bring innovation to a category as mature as bath tissue," he says.

He won't disclose the tubeless technology used but says it's a special winding process. A similar process is used on tissue the company sells to businesses but not to consumers.

Behind the marketing push is a growing consumer demand for environmentally friendly products.

One environmentalist applauds the move. "It's a positive example of how companies are seeking creative ways to reduce environmental impact," says Darby Hoover of the Natural Resources Defense Council. But more relevant than nixing the tubes would be more recycled content in its paper, Hoover says. While Scott Naturals normally has 40% recycled content, this test product does not — but future versions will, Daniels says.

Bunnies do not approve of tube-free TP

Hoover says she hopes other toilet tissue makers follow Kimberly-Clark's lead. How soon that may happen is unclear. Procter & Gamble, maker of top-seller Charmin, declined to comment.

Taking shedding to new artistic heights...

This rabbit, according to his owner, was shedding his winter coat in the shape of a rabbit.


Meta Pareidolia of the Day: Summer says: “Our bunny Vladimir Putin is losing summer coat at the moment… we noticed that it seems to be falling out in a familiar pattern.” [thanks summer!]

Thanks, Danielle, for sending this in.  : )
