The Front is Through!
Well, my awaited front has finally pushed through! The temps are really dropping! There is no rain here with the front.. I think we might have had a drop or two... So I guess we can scratch the "heavy rain" on the NWS website... Thank God for the cooler weather!
btw, its 61 out here in Houston and a nice NW wind...

Wow...That seems pretty down right chilly for Houston. I wonder if this will mean something latter in the year. When the SSTAs get into the right position

Wow thats cool for ther
Just checked it again. The inside sensor (which is still outside but by my outside closet door) says 44.3 and the outside sensor (which is in the bushes) says 42.7.

Wow....That means the one by the closet door is probally experiencing just a little bit of heat. From inside.

Just got in to work 30 minutes ago. Yes, I am now well and truly in Hell. I want 90's and 90% humidity! Speaking of Hell, here's an oldie but a goodie.....
The following is supposedly an actual question given on a
University of Washington chemistry mid-term. 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.
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 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 is 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 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."
