The following is an actual question given on a University of Washington engineering
mid-term. The answer was so profound that the Professor shared it with colleagues,
and the sharing obviously hasn't ceased...

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 off 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 that souls are moving into Hell and the rate 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 us 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, 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 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. Of course, 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 Banyan 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 still have not succeeded in having sexual relations with her, then,
#2 cannot be true, and thus I am sure that Hell is exothermic and will not freeze.

This student received the only A.

... nije moja, ali volio bih da je pročitate. Meni se svidjela.

Legends told of the couple Gan Jiang and Mo Ye to be the best blacksmiths on earth.

The Emperor of Chu ordered Gan Jiang to make him a sword. It wasn't a blessing, Gan Jiang
knew that the king would execute the creator to prevent anyone else in the world to have
anything better once obtained a precious item.

The most precious materials were sought from the hardest places, his own blood was put
into the extracts for it was no ordinary things he worked with. With his wife's help
Gan Jiang made a pair of the best swords he ever did in his lifetime. It took 3 years.

Before presenting the sword, Gan Jiang left the other of the pair to his then
pregnant wife and told her, "I will not live once I go into the city. If it's a boy,
have him avenge me when he grow up."

Gan Jiang was killed after offering the sword.

Not long after Gan Jiang's death, Mo Ye gave birth to a boy, Mo Gan. Not fogetting
her husband's wish, she raised the child and told him his father's tragedy when he matured.

In tears he swore to avenge. The young man practiced with the sword everyday. When he
set forth for his journey, the emperor had a repeating dream of an angry young man
running towards him shouting for revenge. In fear he ordered for the soldiers to hunt down
the man and guard the city gates.

With no choice Mo Gan hid in a small inn, one night he met a man who knew his story and
offered to help. "Give me your sword and your head. I can avenge your father."

"Then take my head and my vengeance!"

With that Mo Gan cut his head off. The man picked up the sword and head and cried out,
"What a son of a good man!"

And so he went to the palace and presented the head. The Emperor was overjoyed as it was
the exact face he dreamt of and wanted to reward the man. Instead he was told to boil
the head for 3 days 3 nights so that the ghost of Mo Gan will not hurt him.

The Emperor did as he was told, on the 3rd night he man told him to personally go to
look into the couldron.

Being curious the emperor walked up to it. The man seized the opportunity and slashed
the emperor's head off into the pot. Alarmed and shocked the guards flooded towards him,
the man decapitated himself.
