October 11 Sombri's Birthday PartySo the Birthday Party went off without a hitch. It was a blast. The puppies were running around in the yard, we were having some beers, and the Irish were spanking Stanford on the TV. Check out the pictures in my album, "Sombri's Birthday Party". HELLThis is pretty funny. Enjoy.
The following is 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 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." October 05 TshritSo I have designed a tshirt for my half marathon. cuz i am crazy like that. check it out... October 02 U of I Football is my hero...So a year ago about this time, The Fighting Irish of Notre Dame took on the Spartans of Michigan State at Notre Dame stadium. This is a rivalry that goes back to the days of Ara Parseghian, and some would argue even earlier. It was a close game from the beginning, and ended up going into overtime with the score tied up at 38 pts. In overtime, the Irish scored a field goal to take the lead, but in the final seconds, MSU responded with a touchdown to win the game 44-41. The Irish have lost to the Spartans a few times in the past, but this time the Spartan football players decided to smack the IRish in the face by planting their flag in the middle of the Notre Dame football field (i have to pause here to clarify that the Spartan players were not quite sharp enough to actually find the middle of the field and planted the flag in stead on the 35 yard line). So this year, when the Irish beat the Michigan State Spartans with a fourth quarter rally, everyone was expecting to see the ND flag out there in the middle of Spartan Stadium. However, the fighting irish walked away without returning the insult Michigan State had handed them a year ago.
Here's where the University of Illinois comes in. Just one week later, Michigan State took on the Fighting Illini at home in Spartan Stadium. The Spartans were 26 point underdogs and hadn't won a big ten match up since 2004. Nonetheless, they were able to pull out a win and defeat the Spartans 23-20, with a last minute field goal. the Illini then added insult to injury and planted their flag in the middle of the Spartan football field(and they placed it correctly on the 50 yard line, unlike the less mathematically inclined Spartans had a year prior). So for that i send out a huge thank you, and a big hug to UofI in the name of Notre Dame. Building ImplosionSo this weekend a group of friends and I got up wicked early on a Saturday morning for a very special occasion. An 18 story building in downtown Atlanta was going to be impoloded at 8:00 AM sharp. Granted, this being not only the US but also the south, the implosion didn't actually happen till 8:27. but it was well worth the wait. Here's are two links to videos of it. Enjoy... I sure did.
September 21 Especially for Miss Chi Chi Chia...So,
apparently i have a blog stalker, and her name is Chi. She has requested a blog, and I must comply. I really dont have anything to talk about, but i'm just going to recount the past few days. My half marathon training continues smoothly. Yesterday I had a short 2 miles run, and I made it in 9 minute mile pace. Quite good considering that my pace until then was 10:30 min miles. I have 4 miles tonight, 5 on saturday, and then I move on to 6 miles next week. so far so good. I've also started planning my dog sombri's first birthday party. Really its just an excuse to drink and have a ton of dogs in the back yard. should be fun. Other than that, its the same old same old. thats all I got for today... September 18 A Major Defeat...Ok, so the Irish have lost, and maybe not just lost, but lost pretty terribly. We were shut down completely, and that is the basic truth. I've had several people commenting on the game to me today. Some thanking the Irish for opening up the coveted #2 spot on the AP Poll, others mockingly asking what happened on Saturday. Well here is my all emcompassing response to you:
A.)I am neither a football coach or a Notre Dame Football player. I can not tell you anymore about what happened out on the field that what I saw on Saturday, which is the same as what you saw.
B.)You're welcome for the #2 spot. I'm glad you can revel in the victories of a team that plays mostly second rate crappy teams, with the occasional worthy opponent. We on the other hand, have the hardest schedule in college football. PS-Good luck keeping it.
C.)Regardless of what happens on the field week after week, I will always cheer on the Fighting Irish of Notre Dame. So please don't think anything you say will truly effect my spirits. They remain high. The Alma Mater is not just a song, it is a true expression of the heart of Notre Dame and of every, student, alumni, professor, and fan. And our hearts forever LOVE THEE NOTRE DAME!
August 24 Finally a Live SpaceSo, it seems I have finally gotten around to putting together a windows live space for myself. Thanks to the persistent encouragement of my Microsoft Guru Jeannine. I myself am more of an Apple/MAC oriented person being that I am in a design field, but this has been fun. Anyway, check out all the pics I've uploaded. I will keep blogging so everyone knows whats up with me. Ciao! |
