<description><![CDATA[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.<br />
<br />
Bonus Question: Is Hell exothermic (gives off heat) or endothermic (absorbs heat)?<br />
<br />
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.<br />
<br />
One student, however, wrote the following:<br />
<br />
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<br />
leaving. I think that we can safely assume that once a soul gets to Hell, it will not leave. Therefore, no souls are leaving.<br />
<br />
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.<br />
<br />
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.<br />
<br />
This gives two possibilities:<br />
<br />
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.<br />
<br />
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.<br />
<br />
So which is it?<br />
<br />
If we accept the postulate given to me by a Miss Teresa King 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.<br />
<br />
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.<br />
<br />
Which explains why, last night, Miss King kept shouting "Oh my God!"<br />
<br />
The student received the only "A" in the class.]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[Here's a bunch of the extremely nerdy pickup lines that I have heard that deal with biology or the other sciences <br />
<br />
I warn you, some of these are pretty cheesy...<br />
<br />
1. If I was an enzyme, I'd be helicase so I could unzip your genes. <br />
2. Your skin is so smooth.... like endoplasmic reticulum." Or...<br />
3. If I was an endoplasmic reticulum, how would you want me: smooth or rough?<br />
4. You're so hot you denature my proteins<br />
5. You're like telophase, I admire your cleavage.<br />
6. You must be auxin, because you're causing me to have rapid stem elongation. (hmm..)<br />
7. I wish I were adenine because then I could get paired with U.<br />
8. I wish I were your derivative, so I could lie tangent to your curves. <br />
9. I wish I was an Ion so I could form an exothermic bond with you.<br />
10. It's a good thing you've got evaporative cooling, cause I'm going to make you sweat<br />
11. Hey baby, want to form a synapse with me and exchange neurotransmitters?<br />
12. If I were a Schwann cell, I'd squeeze around your axon and give you a fast action potential. (good old Neuroscience... my favorite)<br />
13. Want to be my substrate/enzyme?<br />
14. Hey baby, want to form a zygote? (this might make my list of turn OFFS)<br />
15. If my right leg is the cell wall and my left the membrane, do you want to be the cytoplasm? (not a pretty picture)<br />
16. My sudden protracted cardiac arrhythmia tells me I love you<br />
17. If you were a concentration gradient I'd go down on you (definitely would earn you a slap across the face...)<br />
18. If you were C6, and I were H12, all we would need is the air we breathe to be sweeter than sugar.<br />
19. Girl whenever I am near you, I undergo anaerobic respiration because you take my breath away<br />
20. I want to stick to u like glue-cose.<br />
21. You must be the one for me, since my selectively permeable membrane let you through.<br />
22. My hypothalamus must be secreting serotonin because baby, I want you!<br />
23. Hey baby, can I be your enzyme? because my active site is dying for a chemical reaction.<br />
24. You give me more jolt than a mitochondria!<br />
25. Right now we're just two RNA, but maybe we could transcribe together and become DNA.]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[Ah... back into full work mode. To see what I've been up to, go to my Virb site  <a rel="nofollow" href="http://virb.com/andikuszewski" target="_new">virb.com/andikuszewski</a> <a href="http://www.stumbleupon.com/url/virb.com/andikuszewski">[virb.com/andikuszewski]</a> ) and click on "videos". The first one, "Test Animation Neurons" is the hi res version. Just a clip of a test animation... a fly-through of a neural network. Those are the preliminary models; I was testing the lighting and texture, as well as the appearance of the 3D neurons in motion. Working on more of this project as we speak....<br />
