someone that you would do something when it snows in hell or when hell freezes over......lol. What was it and would you really do it if that did happen?

its just hypothetical question

The following is supposedly an actual question given on a university chemistry exam. 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 told my hubby I would obey him when hell freezes over. If it ever does, I'll have to stick to the bargain!

Problem is that it does happen. There is a place- Hell, Michigan.

Yea, Hell doesn't exist, so that phrase doesn't bother me.
Go ahead, I expect thumbs down...lol

I have said that before.
No, I won't do it, and I won't tell you what it was, that's my little secret.
