You're thinking "I'm going NUTS sitting here amidst the snow and cold and if I don't find something to do I will completely lose it!" opps,,,,,too late!

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." THIS STUDENT RECEIVED THE ONLY "A

May as well ad more fuel to the fire then right? Maybe I just have a death wish! LOL OK....I warned you it is "politically incorrect" Man to buddy...."You know why there are so many abused women in the world?" Buddy...."No, why" Man....spoken emphatically while at the same time smacking his fist into his palm several times....."because they... just ...don't... listen!!!"

Even more rediculous is to get a letter, and a 2nd letter threatening my credit rating for a $.02 ( two cents!!) balance owing. You have to figure the labour costs alone...but even if it is automatic by computer....there is the paper and envelope and postage. I sent them a cheque for 2 cents, along with my account cancellaton.

A woman goes to the Doctor, beaten black and blue. The doctor asks "What happened?" The woman says "Doctor I don't know what to do. Every time my husband comes home drunk he beats me to a pulp. The Doctor says "I have a good cure for that. When your husband comes home drunk, just take a glass of sweet tea and start swishing it in your mouth. Just swish and swish but don't swallow until he goes to bed and is asleep Two weeks later the woman comes back to the Doctor looking fresh and reborn. The woman says "Doctor, that was a brilliant idea! Every time my husband came home drunk, I swished with sweet tea. I swished and swished, and he didn't touch me! How does the tea do that?" The Doctor says "The tea does nothing at all, it's keeping your mouth shut that does the trick."

11 Step Program for those thinking of having kids

We only had 1 boy and one girl....we figured if we had more it would be just more of the same! But I did have 2 goats along with 2 horses, a pony and a dozen or so cattle and various assorted chickens! -
You're right....I guess I'm in good company! :rasberry:

Ontario has a manditory "used vehicle package" that lists all the previous owners and the milage at each ownership change. Nothing like that out there?????

I posted a $3000 payment online to a credit card with a zero balance. Once I realized my mistake (about a week later I called them to ask them to transfer the payment ...both were with the same bank...but one was VISA and one was MC It took a few days for them to get done. So the card I normally use (that should have been paid off) was maxed out and some automatic payments bounced! Allstate insurance wanted to charge me $50 PER POLICY (I have 5 different policies...all come out the same day) for the bounced payments. I told them they could do that...and the day the do is the day I cancel ALL my business with them. Electronic banking....gotta love it!

Winter! It's getting pretty lame around here!

Lake Superior Circle Tour (counter-clockwise)

If you are going in August you want to avoid the Civic Holiday August 2nd. Not only more traffic but less availabilty for campsites and motels. Black Fly hatch is closer to spring...usually Late May, Early June. If you have time I would recommend going a little "inland" from Wawa to Chapleau. The Ride heading south to Manatoulin was beautiful (25 years ago) From there it's an easy day's to Niagara Falls or little longer to Detroit. Check out the Agawa Canyon Train Ride out of Sault Saint Marie -
I had a polaris sportsman....and I liked I didn't have to shift. (it had an expanding drive belt drive hub) It had Limited slip 4 wheel drive (front only kicked in when needed but could be locked into 4 wheel with a flick of a switch. It had high & Low range. handle bar break worked only one rear brake, foot brake worked the other 3.(if I remember right) My brother had a Honda 500 that was electric select gears. I found it rough shifting (jolt each gear) but worked well in any lower gear on trails. I found the seat more comfortable on the Polaris. A buddy has a new polaris...and he loves the racks. He has a dump rack on the back and made up a box for it. We all had winches so we never found a spot we couldn't get thru one way or the other. We also found the independant suspension on the Polaris was nicer ride than the solid back axcle of the Honda

I've just heard from a friend in Scotland, he says it has been snowing heavily for three days now. His wife has done nothing but stare through the window, if it doesn't stop soon he'll probably have to let her in.

Well it was warmer here....but raining...so we just ended up with water on top of the ice!....no rides for me in the near future. You might suggest to who ever was riding lead that they are actually over the line a lot of times! The wheels were just inside the line...but the bags, legs etc were actually in the other lane. Could be a good way to get clipped if someone else is also riding the line. Wouldn't be a very good way to start the new year!

That worked just fine.....THANKS!!!!! I don't really have enough issues to be worth changing browsers....I've always been a Microsoft guy....don't know anything else.

I'll try to explain what I'm trying to do....more for fun than any real need. I'm doing a book keeping spreadsheet. On a summary page, I have a formula that adds the numbers in a column based on the "code" found in the next cell. This helps me to track different sources of income, each one with it's own code =SUMIF(A4:A85,U93,E4:E85) so this formula says to compare the letter code found the cells A4 to A85 and IF they are the same as the comparison cell (U93) then return the SUM of the value from cells E4 to E85. This formual is repeated IN DIFFERENT CELLS with different comparison cell codes. (U94, or U95) I want create a similar formula to read a name found anywhere in a range of cells and if it is there, to then print that name in another cell. (on the summary page) yet, not have other cells repeat that name ....AND.... if that name is not in that range of cells, to allow a different name to be returned in that same cell I can't use the same formula because I am asking for text...not numbers. in much the same manner, I can look at the range of cells, and return a number associated with that company name =SUMIF(B11:B89,"Hydro One",J11:J89) ...asking it to give me the SUM of payouts found in cells J11 to J89, as long as "Hydro One" is contained somewhere in the range of cells from B11 to B89 This formula works fine when I ask it to look at a single cell. =IF(B11=R101,"company name","") so in the cell on the summary page... the formula looks to see if cell B:11 contains the same name as the comparison cell (R101), if it does, it displays "Company name", if that exact name is not found , it displays nothing ("") When I ask it to look at a range of cells it returns the "false" value ("") because that specific text is not in every cell of the range. I THOUGHT it would check the entire range of cells to see if that name is in ANY of the cells....but it is actually checking ot ensure the name is in ALL of the cells =IF(B11:B85=R101,"company name","") What formula can I use to get it to check a range of cells, and return a name from a multiple choice of 5 companies. Of course if any name is already used in that cell then it has to just forget about the whole thing and move on. The next cell below would do the same until all the vendors are listed along with their totals. Any suggestions...perhaps a macro? I could just type in in...but what's the fun in that?

Maybe Anthony doesn't care....it's a paycheck! A lot of major department stores have their own brand name. In Canada we have Canadian Tire with "mastercraft", Kenmore from Sears, The BAY with Beaumark, and several more. These are manufactured by a limited number of makers...they usually change a few things....a different size motor, different trim etc. Sears is the worst because they change things so ONLY Sears brand supplies will fit. i.e. years ago I bought a belt sander. Most everyone seems to make a 20" belt...but sears was 21" The same thing with the riding lawn mower. It needs an odd size drive belt...at twice the price of anywhere else. other industrie do the same thing. My son used to work for Bic's Pickles. They processed pickles for a lot of different store brands...some had a slightly different brine formula but for the most part they just put a different label on them.

Is it just my PC or is everyone having the same issue. When I click on a thumbnail picture it used to open up a mini window that "floated" above the post I was watching and I could navigate to the next pic. Now it seems the only way I can open a picture is by doubleclicking on it and it opens one at a time in a new window. The pictures are larger that way...but much slower to see them all! any suggestions on what might have happened?

As Jehovah's Witnesses, we don't celebrate Christmas. As you know, we are known for our door to door witnessing. I was a bit worried on how we would be received on Christmas day....thinking we would be interrupting or disturbing folks on what many consider to be a special day. So, today, we made a point of going to some who we have met in our door to door work who we thought would probably be alone. As with Eck in another post, many folks who do celbrate Christmas are very lonely this time of year when they can't get together with family. Did you know it is one of the highest seasons for suicide? We had a very enjoyable morning visiting folks who are celbrating Christmas...but were alone. We had some wonderful discussions about the Bible and Jesus role in our lives. It really is a priviledge to honor God and give to Him the only thing we really have to give ....our time.

I had the same thing with my GMC Jimmy....I eventually had to change the heater core but when the coolant was down it acted the same way!
