Is Hell exothermic (gives off heat) or endothermic (absorbs heat)?

 
The following is an actual question given in a university chemistry mid-term exam. 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.
 
Here is the "Bonus Question" on the exam:
 
 
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 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 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 (a girlfriend of mine 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 2 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 THE ONLY "A."


School Boy....


A first-grade teacher, Ms Neelam (Age 28) was having  trouble with one of her students.                             

The teacher asked,"Boy. what is your problem?"

Boy answered, "I'm too smart for the first-grade. My sister is in the  third-grade and I'm smarter than she is!
I think  I should be in the third-grade too!"

Ms Neelam had enough. She took Boy. to the principal's office.

While Boy waited in the outer office, the teacher  explained to the principal what the situation was.

The principal told Ms  Neelam he would give the boy a test and if he failed to answer any of his  questions he was to go back to the first-grade and behave.

She agreed.    

Boy was brought in and the conditions were explained to him and he agreed  to take the test.

Principal: "What is 3 x 3?"    
Boy: "9".    
Principal: "What is 6 x 6?"
Boy: "36".

And so it went with every question the principal thought a third-grade should know.

The principal looks at Ms Neelam  and tells her, "I think Boy can go to the third-grade."

Ms Neelam says to the principal, "I have some of my own questions. Can I ask him ?"
The principal and Boy both agree.


Ms Neelam asks, "What does a cow have four of that I have only two of?
Boy, after a moment "Legs."

Ms Neelam: "What is in your pants that you have but I do not have?"
Boy.: "Pockets."

Ms Neelam: What starts with a C and ends with a T, is hairy, oval, delicious and contains thin whitish liquid?Boy.: Coconut

Ms Neelam: What goes in hard and pink then comes out soft And sticky?

The principal's eyes open really wide and before he could stop the answer,

Boy was taking charge.
Boy: Bubblegum

Ms Neelam: What does a man do standing up, a woman does sitting down and a dog does on three legs?

The principal's eyes open really wide and before he could stop the answer...
Boy: Shake hands

Ms Neelam: Now I will ask some "Who am I" sort of questions, okay?
Boy: Yep.

Ms Neelam: You stick your poles inside me. You tie  me down to get me  up. I get wet before you do.
Boy: Tent

Ms Neelam: A finger goes in me. You fiddle with me  when you're bored. The best man always has me first.

The  Principal was looking restless, a bit tense and took one large Patiala Vodka peg.
Boy.: Wedding Ring

Ms Neelam: I come in many sizes. When I'm not well,  I drip. When you  blow me, you feel good.
Boy: Nose

Ms Neelam: I have a stiff shaft. My tip penetrates.  I come with a  quiver.
Boy.: Arrow

Ms Neelam: What word starts with a 'F' and ends in  'K' that means lot  of heat and excitement?Boy.: Firetruck

Ms Neelam: What word starts with a 'F' and ends in  'K' & if u dont  get it u have to use ur hand.
Boy.: Fork

Ms Neelam: What is it that all men have one of it's  longer on some men than on others, the pope doesn't use his and a man gives it to his wife  after they're married?
Boy.: SURNAME

Ms Neelam: What part of the man has no bone but has muscles, has lots  of veins, like pumping, & is responsible for making  love ?
Boy: HEART.

The principal breathed a sigh of relief and said to  the teacher,"Send this Boy to Delhi University, I got the last  ten questions  wrong myself!
