Right now I just feel tenderized ...let me explain
I went repelling yesterday. First I had to climb down a wet rocky cliffside with my six year old, who was for lack of a better phrase "giving me a heart attack"
if he fell he would have died
no question
Next, when I was edging backward off the 50' sheer face cliff I decided was going to be my first repel (oh no don’t' take the easy one Aimee... oh no...) my friend is cracking jokes and my son is trying to give me pointers. All I want is for everyone to SHUT THEIR FREAKIN NOISE TUBES and let me think.
Gently I ask not to be distracted and again I edge & lean.
Unfortunately the worn rubber sole of my sneaker is about as useful as a wet paper towel for grip so my foot slipped and I slid backward, and lost my footing.
So here I am
Upside down.
Calmly I tilt my head back and look at the climbers on the ground, who mind you just think "oh she's just one of those reckless types..."
Embarrassed as hell I repel upside down like freaking boob raider to the minor crevice of cliff so that I can get my footing back. I let out rope and slowly edge that way.
Dude I was Lara Croft.
After I righted myself I managed to regain a "normal non-suicidal" stance and finish my run - funny I think I preferred to be upside down.

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 then 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"
