Nice J.R.

Kenny Lofton retweeted one of my Tweets Saturday. That was a big thrill for me. I'll never wash these fingertips again.

Forumers or Forumites. Need some assistance please.

Would like to locate the joke that was posted 4-6 yrs ago. It was a final exam from a college student. The subject was whether there was a heaven or hell and would have been from our World Crossing days. Thank you Larry

Cool beans! Was it about Omar?

You are Instagram, Twitter, Facebook...quite the social media guy!

All traces of the old WC forum are long gone. So unless somebody recalls it, you may be SOL.
Or if you know part of the joke, you can google it.

I found this one, but it's probably not the one you are thinking of:

A more optimistic version --

The following is an actual question given on a University of Arizona chemistry mid term, and an actual answer turned in by a student.

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, which is unlikely. 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 two 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 an A+."

The story is not real, and has been circulating around the Internet since 1997, with variations going back to the 1920s.

J.R.:

It was right after Omar's festivities, but the tweet was about Kenny himself. I would love to say that I tweeted some type of enlightened thoughts on baseball that Kenny agreed with, but in reality I just mentioned how awesome he was and he liked that.

doesn't matter if it is real or not, but that is the one I am looking for. Thank you guys.

All right - glad to help!

Since when have you started washing your hands?

Ha!

Good point...

By the way, I just wanted to mention how awesome Hillbilly is.

Help Cleveland Clinic, Indians raise funds for VeloSano, get nifty Indians bike jersey
The Cleveland Indians have partnered with VeloSano for their first annual bike for a cure, an event created to raise money for cancer research at the Cleveland Clinic.

The event will run July 19-20, and the Indians will send out their own team, including CEO Paul Dolan. All participants will join various Cleveland Indians employees and bike anywhere from 25 to 100 miles.

All who sign up will receive a free Cleveland Indians bike jersey for the event.

Those who are interested in receiving a Cleveland Indians bicycle jersey but are unable to participate in VeloSano’s event have an alternative option.

Such fans have the chance to help the Cleveland Clinic and the Cleveland Indians by joining their virtual riding team and raising $1,000.00 for cancer research. All fans who raise $1,000.00 will earn a free bike jersey.

Cleveland Indians Director of Baseball Information and Indians VeloSano team captain, Bart Swain, said all fans are encouraged to participate, regardless of their location.

“We have seen a lot of interest in obtaining our Indians bike jersey from people unable to ride in the event or live outside the Northeast Ohio area,” he said. “This is a great way to raise awareness and funds for the event.”

For more information on VeloSano’s event and to learn more about how you can snag a Cleveland Indians bicycle jersey, visit http://ccf.convio.net/site/TR/VeloSano/ ... 1393031316.
