Ignore (EOM)

[BigGuy]

Hey, little cobra
Your right this is not a ramp topic forum. I think the topic here is cheese doodles and rocks?! What ever.....


We just had a little snow last night (10 inches), so its a little slow here.



Back on topic?:
Here's one I just received.
I'd don't remember this from College.... ahh the 70's.



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"

I designate Kristen the in-house moderator for this thread.
She is in charge!!

Whatever she says goes..

[hey,littlecobra]

I feel SSSOOOO honored. An honorary moderator on Club Cobra. Wow. Now if Brent, Jamo, or Ron (CW) would make it official...... I mean, geez, I'd whip all you boys in line, just give me the chance.... No more ROCK throwing especially in the lounge. It is a scary place, and we need more peace, love and Dr. Phil in there. No Dr. Ruth, tho'.
REMEMBER: I'M NOW IN CHARGE! TURK SAID SO.
have a great day, and BE NICE! or else...
Kristen
moderator
wow. I feel liberated. Free and clear. Thanks, Turk. I needed that....

[LwCwb]

Uh oh.....

Turk, what have you done?!!!!!!!!!!!

[Ron61]

Gee Turk,

I hope that you never gave her the secret moderator decoder ring too. You have created a monster!!!!

Ron

[BigGuy]

Uh oh.....

We're in for it now!!!
( I'm try to behave, honest)

[hey,littlecobra]

Ring, what ring?

[392cobra]

I guess now would not be a good time to bring up her experiences with Pepe on top of the Dallas 'High Five'.

Can't quite believe the're for real.......

QANTAS PILOTS AND MECHANICS

Introduction
After every flight, pilots fill out a form called a gripe
sheet,which conveys to the mechanics problems encountered with the aircraft during the flight that need repair or correction.

The mechanics read and correct the problem, and then respond in
writing on the lower half of the form what remedial action was taken, and the pilot reviews the gripe sheets before the next flight.

Never let it be said that ground crews and engineers lack a sense of
humour!

Here are some actual logged maintenance complaints and problems as
submitted by QANTAS pilots and the solution recorded by maintenance engineers.

By the way, QANTAS is the only major airline that has never had a
major accident.

Key
P = The problem logged by the pilot.
S = The solution, and action taken by the engineers.

- P: Left inside main tire almost needs replacement.
- S: Almost replaced left inside main tire.

- P: Test flight OK, except auto-land very rough.
- S: Auto-land not installed on this aircraft.

- P: Something loose in cockpit.
- S: Something tightened in cockpit.

- P: Dead bugs on windshield.
- S: Live bugs on back-order.

- P: Evidence of leak on right main landing gear.
- S: Evidence removed.

- P: DME volume unbelievably loud.
- S: DME volume set to more believable level.

- P: Friction locks cause throttle levers to stick.
- S: That's what they're there for.

- P: IFF inoperative.
- S: IFF always inoperative in OFF mode.

- P: Suspected crack in windshield.
- S: Suspect you're right.

- P: Number 3 engine missing.
- S: Engine found on right wing after brief search.

- P: Aircraft handles funny.
- S: Aircraft warned to straighten up, fly right, and be serious.

- P: Target radar hums.
- S: Reprogrammed target radar with lyrics.

- P: Mouse in cockpit.
- S: Cat installed.

- P: Noise coming from under instrument panel. Sounds like a midget
pounding on something with a hammer.
- S: Took hammer away from midget.

[hey,littlecobra]

I said "WHAT RING"????

[clayfoushee]

Big Guy,

That is funny, and I remember it from years ago. However, Qantas lost their spotless record in '99.

What is the topic again?
Rick

[Ibr8k4vetts]

Still think we will make 20 pages
Mike

[Pete C]

Are you guys still here? Will the last one to leave, please turn off the lights?

Cheers, Pete C

[LwCwb]

No doubt about it that it will make 20 pages,

What Topic

Good topic Rick.
One of your best!

TURK

Any pictures?

Turk was psychic regarding this thread... Who'da thought..
and it was one of Dormans better efforts....

[hey,littlecobra]

Wow, Rick! Glad to have you back! Haven't seen you around here since page 4. Thanks for the foresight to start a chat room on cc. You are soo smart. And it seems I've been appointed moderator of this thread in your absence, too. Guess I can moderate JUST FINE without the #@*(^ ring!!!
Clay, you are quite good at finding just the right airplane pic. Mike, yikes! there you are, right in my rearview mirror....
see ya'll

[rdorman]

The Seinfeild of threads. As long as this is about nothing, it will live. Bring up Shelby or engine sizes or ................... IT DIES

Glad to see a woman moderator in a male dominated world.

Who else thinks Boyd Coddington is an a$$?

Lots of crap in my life now. Any one want some.

Well look who the cat dragged in................

Kristen,

Decoder rings are reserved for the GOD order moderators. You are just a trainee at this time.

At 80 years old, George went for his annual physical.
All of his tests came back with normal results.
Dr. Smith said, "George, everything looks great physically.
How are you doing mentally and emotionally?
Are you at peace with yourself, and do have a good relationship with
God? George replied, "God and me are tight.
He knows I have poor eyesight, so, he's fixed it so that when I get
up in the middle of the night to go to the bathroom (poof) the light goes
on, when I'm done (poof) the light goes off."
"Wow!" commented Dr. Smith, "That's incredible!"
A little later in the day Dr. Smith called George's wife. "Ethel,"
he said, "George is doing fine. Physically he's great. But, I had to call because I'm in awe of his
relationship with God. Is it true that he gets up during the night and (poof) the light
goes on in the bathroom, and then when he is through (poof) the light goes off?"
Ethel exclaimed, "Oh, my God! He's peeing in the refrigerator again!"
