Pre-Meds....UNITE!!!!!!

Man, is it just me or have I been finding a vast WEALTH of good stuff? Haha, that was redudant...anyways this is a post dedicated to the hardworking premed in the library who stays late hours and either learns how to multitask REALLY well or looks at youtube clips of topics that they are normally completely uninterested in....maybe...

Anyways, here is some creativity and knowledge that is working hand in hand (it's a bit vulgar at the end, but take it with a grain of salt people!). For all of you with finals coming up, you got this!! If you don't know the answer, you could always get ingenuity points. But geez, I don't think I'd ever be smart enough to answer like this...

The following is an actual question given on 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."

THIS STUDENT RECEIVED AN A+.

Pretty impressive no? Keep on studying and maybe you'll be like this guy! That or drinking alot...who knows?

One last thing...I'm extremely glad that a claim I've been making has been irrevocably validated. All you premeds out there who want to go into surgery HAVE to get this:

How I'm going to be a successful doctor

Yes...video games ARE good for clinicians out there. This also gives me a reason to buy a Nintendo Wii.

Nice.

NJ Nets...

Another basketball entry

I'm not sure how many people can appreciate this, but my relationship with the NJ Nets is love/hate personified. I truly hate to love them, but they are my team and always have been. Yet when I watch such a talented group of players lose time after time, it hurts because you expect greatness yet get disappointed so often (I could now launch into much christian rhetoric, but I will stay my course). That is why during the playoffs, I have been literally jumping out of my seat watching the Nets play. They are playing like true champs and if you know me well, for me to say that about the Nets is nothing less than astounding. I just have a few things to say to my favorites...

"Jason Kidd, I know you just divorced your wife and you might be upset with sam mitchell, but its okay! Stay angry and destroy all opponents! And later on, I will marry you."

"Richard Jefferson, you're playing well but I would like to see some more aggresiveness. You're injured I get it, but get your parents to pray for it!"

"Boki, you are my favorite. Keep on doing what you're doing and keep on driving/shooting. You lose the ball a few times, but I think you need more confidence. We need you, DON'T LEAVE US!!!"

"Vince Carter, you're not my favorite by any stretch of the imagination, but dangit I love it when you score tons and help us win. Don't worry about Toronto fans, just think about me...cheering you on."

"Marcus Williams, seriously...you're a stud. Keep on getting better and someday, maybe I will rear your children."

Finally...

" Jason Collins, after years of bashing on you, I have to admit I never appreciated you enough. You're doing a crazy job on Bosh so keep it up!"

Anyways, to finish this off, I have a quote from Chris Broussard of ESPN.com,

"What I'm about to write is not a prediction, just a possibility: The New Jersey Nets will reach the NBA Finals."

You've seen it before though...haven't you? Yes...look at my post from December 19th and I will have said it first. Not only that...I expanded on that statement to make an even bolder one. I demand all the credit and if the Nets make it there...I'm taking out the first person who asks me to dinner.

I will now return to my dreary studies with an emphatic...GO NETS!!!!

P.S...soon to come, Burton's NBA all-star team post

*EDIT*

sigh.....

OH MY...A.I. as a Nugget?!?

 What could this mean...?

I'll tell you what it means - the New Jersey Nets are going to win the NBA championship.

Since I've been in college, there have been many "jokes," if you will, about my inability to represent the chinese culture. I have been told that I am like other ethnicities. Usually these statements are directed at specific countries such as Korea, California (that's right, you're a country), or...all of them white countries. I've even tapped into a couple of blackanese comments for which I humbly accept and thank you for.

BUT! In my heart and persona lies a chinese man. I even feel chinese pride. This is especially true in the area of sports. I am proud of:

-Michelle Kwan and Michael Chang

-Chinese gymnasts, I salute you.

-To the entire Chinese women's soccer team, you ladies kick bootay (heh heh, kick).

-I appreciate that other Wang in the MLB even though he plays for the Yankees.

-Yao ming...I am semi-proud of.

There has been recent news though...of a 23 year old guy (eegad...he's my age) from China who is an amazing hurdler. That's right, he runs and jumps for a living. Not only is he amazing...he recently set a WORLD RECORD for the 110m hurdles at 12.88 seconds. My goodness, we can actually compete on similar if not higher levels to (dare I say it...) non-yellow people? Sweet. So chin-up all my fellow athletes...and by fellow, I mean all you people who actually play sports - not me. You can do it!

Forgive the slightly fruity picture of him, but I thought it was a good one. His name is Liu Xiang. Make sure you keep an eye on him in Beijing 2008. He's gonna be on home court baby.

Also in sports news, I've discovered a new sport that's absolutely ridiculous. It might be one the toughest sports I've ever seen. It's called Sepak Takraw and it's crazy. Imagine that you're playing on a badminton court, you're using the ideas of volleyball, but you're using the rules of soccer. That's right, you kick this ball over the net and you spike it and do everything by kicking it, heading it, or using anything but your hands. It's SICK. You do bicycle kicks to spike it, but these guys are good enough to land on their feet after. We should try this out sometime fellas...

I know...I fell into the Youtube craze. I am ashamed.
