MA, like you, I’m an early riser.. 4:30am usually. If you put more thought into than I did , you’re most likely right.

Is the monkey pulling or pushing?

2. Last night’s dinner conversation:

“Is hell exothermic or endothermic? Support your answer with proof.”

Every other gear turns the oposite direction, except those connected by the belts – they will turn the same direction, unless the belt is flipped top for bottom.

I’m tired – every other gear turns the same direction

“Is hell exothermic or endothermic? Support your answer with proof.” ——- Left a comment

Dr. Schambaugh, of the University of Oklahoma School of Chemical Engineering, Final Exam question for May of 1997. Dr. Schambaugh is known for asking questions such as, “why do airplanes fly?” on his final exams. His one and only final exam question in May 1997 for his Momentum, Heat and Mass Transfer II class was: “Is hell exothermic or endothermic? Support your answer with proof.”

Most of the students wrote proofs of their beliefs using Boyle’s Law or some variant. One student, however, wrote the following:

======================

“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:

—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 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.”

======================

The student, Tim Graham, got the only A.

Actually neither side will turn.

That Monkey’s getting ready to fall off the chair before he turns it.

You all forgot , none of the physical ( natural laws , properties , rules ) apply in the spiritual world . So whole question is irrelevant. God says and I’m paraphrasing…. I owned your ass ,soul and everything else.

In that Politics of Equality class I took long ago (with the “distance travelled” professor), we had a mid-term exam with one question on it.

What is the name of the lady who cleans this building’s restrooms?

Well, that may seem silly and it was, but it is how liberal social science professors think. Now, I happened to know, NOT because I am a libtard, but because I really am a nosy/inquisitive person and as an older student, I tended to spend more time in the bathroom than most of the young female students. LOL. Her name was Rosita and she was an immigrant from Venezuela. She had two children with her and had been granted a work visa for which she was effusively grateful, but her oldest son was still in Venezuela and refused to leave. I didn’t know her last name. I got an “A” too.

I simply was nosy, not interested.

The final cog is turning counterclockwise so 2. The cogs with the parallel belts turn the same direction. Those with crossed belts turn opposite directions. Simply label each cog clockwise or counter clockwise starting with the one with the red arrow. Easy peasy.

Is the pointer attached to the axle or does pivot around it?

Neither – The pointer will be hung up between positions 1 & 2. The last two gears will not mesh because the larger gear has 13 teeth and the smaller one also has 13 teeth. Note the interference at the 1 o’clock position of the smaller gear [narrow space between teeth] with larger gear [large space between teeth]. This will keep the entire drive train from moving to either the #1 or #2 positions.

I was going with 2, but I did not count the teeth in the gears so MIA could be right with NONE.

Both. See, I’m demonstrating that liberalism is a mental disorder.

There. Fixed it for ya.
