These are hilarious:



















I think I'd have to give a similar answer to the ocean liner question. :confused:

It appears as if you're trying to link those directly from your email..  That's not going to work..  You need to upload them somewhere else..  Can't host them from your own email account..

Doh, I wasn't sure if it would work or not.  I did a preview and it showed up.  Hang on I'll host them at flickr.

Anaxogoras thank you, those are the funniest things I have seen in a while.

Love this one....




His professor sent him an e-mail the following day:

Dear Michael,

Every year I attempt to boost my students’ final grades by giving them this relatively simple exam consisting of 100 True/False questions from only 3 chapters of material. For the past 20 years that I have taught Intro Communications 101 at this institution I have never once seen someone score below a 65 on this exam. Consequently, your score of a zero is the first in history and ultimately brought the entire class average down a whole 8 points.

There were two possible answer choices: A (True) and B (False). You chose C for all 100 questions in an obvious attempt to get lucky with a least a quarter of the answers. It’s as if you didn’t look at a single question. Unfortunately, this brings your final grade in this class to failing. See you next year!

May God have mercy on your soul.

Sincerely,
Professor William Turner

P.S. If all else fails, go with B from now on.
B is the new C

I think I'd have to give a similar answer to the ocean liner question. :confused:
[/quote]

The ship is exothermic, not only is there no heat available to perform work (in this case moving the boat), but it is venting more heat than it takes in.  Theoretically, given time it's drive mechanism would reach absolute zero and lose it's molecular bonds, and take the rest of the ship with it, through thermal transfer.  (If we ignore the quantum energy limit, and place the ship in a vacuum, etc.  Physicists like to do everything in a vacuum to avoid the real world getting in the way of their theories)  If the ship is somehow managing to transfer some of the heat into motion, the effect will be even greater, making the formula more along the lines of Tt=(Ti=20'c(293 K)+Tm=Ev(Ce)) As best I can type it with this keyboard, and 30 years removed from the classroom :P  (Basically add his calculation to the amount of energy needed to move the boat, with a constant to allow for the energy loss in the conversion of heat to velocity to arrive at the total heat loss per hour)

And here I thought I'd never use any of that stuff .....................
