I'll let you know when I get there.

here is a recent study on that question :)

Is Hell Exothermic or Endothermic?

As you study for exams, remember its not the quantity it's the quantity. And remember there is no substitute for pure unadulterated bull

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.

If it makes you feel any better I lost my .38 special sizing die in my garage.

For future reference.

First time I took my Kimber apart, the recoil spring plug got away from me as I was removing the barrel bushing. After hours of looking for it, I finally found it on top of the Grandfather clock.

Rob,

I'm super-happy to see that this post isn't about an AD/ND! All said and done, I'd much rather lose the spring than fire my weapon seated at the bench!



I'm fairly tidy, but this has happened to me before...and with other parts. I can't tell you not to be so hard on yourself, because you're right...it sucks! But you'll live.

OK...back to putting this ZRX-1200R back together...now where did I put that screw?

S&W has great customer service. When my guide rod and spring absconded with my recoil buffer into tall grass, S&W sent me a new rod, spring and two nylon spacers ...no charge. No shipping cost either.

The little tiny firing pin block spring and plunger inside the Colt slides are a real PITA.

Been there, done that.

I now use a dedicated parts bowl too. Live and learn.
