quick one

busy. typical day: wake up 0500. get ready. 0630 Aidan off. 0800 Brennan to school. 0810 drop shan off, park at the Lincoln garage. 0820 coffee. 0835 classes start. 1100 home, quick lunch, 11:30 homework, 1400 workout, 1630, pick up wife, brennan. Aidan arrives about 1730, dinner at 1800, 1900 homework. asleep between 2100 & midnight depending on stuff. repeat.

I’m calling my precalc class Calculus Boot Camp. I average 20 hours/week on that subject alone. You’ve heard of the marine corps rifleman’s creed? I have a new variation on that theme:

This is my pencil.

There are many like it, but this one is MINE.

My pencil is my best friend. It is my life.

I must master it as I must master my life.

My pencil without me is useless. Without my pencil, I am useless.

I must scrawl my pencil true.

I must calculate better than my enemy who is trying to stump me.

I must factor him before he factors me. I will…

My pencil and myself know that what counts in math is not the functions we use,

the noise of our derivatives, nor the equations we make.

We know it is the grades that count. We will hit…

My pencil is human, even as I, because it is my life.

Thus, I will learn it as a brother.

I will learn its weaknesses, its strengths, its parts, its accessories,
its sights, and its barrel.

I will ever guard it against the ravages of weather and damage.

I will keep my pencil clean and ready, even as I am clean and ready.

We will become part of each other. We will…

Before God I swear this creed.

My pencil and myself are the calculators of integers, graphs and functions.

We are the masters of our enemy.

We are the saviors of my life.

So be it, until there is no enemy.

Is Hell exothermic or endothermic?

Reprinting this from one of my facebook groups. This made me laugh!!!

The following is an actual question given on a McGill University chemistry mid-term Exam paper:
Is Hell exothermic or endothermic? Support your answer with a proof

Most of the students wrote proofs of their beliefs using Boyles Law (gas cools off when it expands and heats up 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’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, 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 most people and their 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 Boyles 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 Ms. Celine LeBlanc during my 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 (2) cannot be true, and thus I am sure that Hell is exothermic.

8 People Buy “I Am Rich” iPhone App For $1,000

“In the first 24 hours that it was available, eight people bought a completely useless iPhone app for $1,000 a pop. This app does nothing except alert onlookers that you have a lot of money. The developer priced it at $999.99, which is the most you can charge on Apple’s store. Apple has since yanked the app (without explanation as usual), while the inventive programmer walked away with $5,600.”

Why gay marriage is bad

electr0hed — Mon, 16 Jun 2008 21:34:19 +0000

(Forwarded by a friend)

1. Being gay is not natural. Real Americans always reject unnatural things like eyeglasses, polyester, and air conditioning.

2. Gay marriage will encourage people to be gay, in the same way that hanging around tall people will make you tall.

3. Legalizing gay marriage will open the door to all kinds of crazy behavior. People may even wish to marry their pets because a dog has legal standing and can sign a marriage contract.

4. Straight marriage has been around a long time and hasn’t changed at all; women are still property, blacks still can’t marry whites, and divorce is still illegal.

5. Straight marriage will be less meaningful if gay marriage were allowed; the sanctity of Britany Spears’ 55-hour just-for-fun marriage would be destroyed.

6. Straight marriages are valid because they produce children. Gay couples, infertile couples, and old people shouldn’t be allowed to marry because our orphanages aren’t full yet, and the world needs more children.

7. Obviously gay parents will raise gay children, since straight parents only raise straight children.

8. Gay marriage is not supported by religion. In a theocracy like ours, the values of one religion are imposed on the entire country. That’s why we have only one religion in America.

9. Children can never succeed without a male and a female role model at home. That’s why we as a society expressly forbid single parents to raise children.

10. Gay marriage will change the foundation of society; we could never adapt to new social norms. Just like we haven’t adapted to cars, the service-sector economy, or longer life spans.
