    Reminds me of the old (probably apocryphal) physics university paper question set by a professor close to retirement:

    Is hell endothermic (absorbing heat - i.e. cold) or exothermic (giving off heat)?


    The highest score for the paper went to this answer:

    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:

    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.
    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.

    Roughly translated... The school bell has rung for the end of play time!

    You might laugh but if each potential supporter such as me are put off by the cabal of people on here, NCFC would go bust. Luckily I am not so easily put off and I can see the bigger picture.

    Now on my way, have more important things to attend to.

    Cheers guys!!!!!

    Please don't be mean to UA - his heart is in the right place, I'm sure. And after all he's currently swaying between two clubs. We just need him to answer our questions and then hopefully we'll be able to get a conclusive answer so he can be content

    Quite. Hopefully I can encourage you to stay with my definitive answer to your scenario.

    Before you go, though, to help you - please could you answer my questions? Thanks very much

    It could be true - I'll give it some thought once I've checked Scarlett Johansson has all she needs from me! <ok>

    ?

    You don't find the apocryphal story amusing? Fair enough. Not to all tastes.

    Let me know if you want any of the long words translating.

    Fair point


    FAOD - "postulating" means he is assuming something is true so as to kick off the essay

    And I mean that as a compliment!

    Thank you - glad to hear it.


    If it's of assistance to help you understand the essay, "a mole" is a unit of measurement in chemistry. It's a bit like "a pint", only not related to volume.

    I cannot believe that any sane canary is replying in either a positive or negative manner to this thread.
    Quite the most ludicrous thread I have come across on this site, and there have been a few of equal, but not greater stature.

    Thats the point though! Its just a WUM thread but in the absence of any football it fills the void!

    Neither set of supporters would ever want to share the same City/Town let alone a football stadium.
