Good Ole Swanee, he is proposing to try to cut down on the number of obscene executive redundancy payouts. Yeah hell will freeze over before that happens. I can prove my assertion thus:
First, We postulate that if souls exist, then they must have some mass. If they do, then a mole of souls can also have a mass. So, at what rate are souls moving into hell and at what rate are souls leaving? I think we can safely assume that once a soul gets to hell, it will not leave.
Therefore, no souls are leaving. As for souls entering hell, let's look at the different religions that exist in the world today. Some of these religions state that if you are not a member of their religion, then you will go to hell. Since there are more than one of these religions and people do not belong to more than one religion, we can project that all people and 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 in volume in hell. Boyle's Law states that in order for the temperature and pressure in hell to stay the same, the ratio of the mass of souls and volume needs to stay constant. Two options exist:
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.
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 quote given to me by Patty Amphlet during my first year at Uni, "that it will be a cold night in hell before I sleep with you" and take into account the fact that I still have NOT succeeded in having sexual relations with her, then Option 2 cannot be true...Thus, hell is exothermic.

thats assuming of course that a "soul" can exude a temperature variance at all
Basil, just a very small suggestion, hook up the van and take a little break
large payouts will never stop to the top end of town simply because the law makers and movers and shakers who control these things have their snout in the trough and they are not about to empty that trough now are they

Bas, If I accept your postulate that souls exist, why must they therefore have mass. If we accept that a soul is an energy state, then it would be a mass-equivalent and therefore massless (like electricity)
Should we have a separate forum heading for existential philosophising (also known as bulls**t)
Keep taking the pills buddy

Mike I beg to differ, everything has mass even electricity and light. Now many on the forum who are godbothereseseses will tell you that souls exist so if they exist they must have mass.

I must admit that I was slightly agog when I plowed through the procrastinations, I still suggest a bex and a lie down for Basil, yakless, yes I too suffer from this ailment
if souls have a mass like state and given the theory of more souls = greater mass then why is the earth not leaning over to the far east where obviously therein lies far more souls,

far beyond a fossil xina I am in the land of the dinosaurs, yay I verily tread cautious as thine Dino poop found in here is large
talking about Dino poop, did you hear that the japs have just invented an almighty camera,
the shutter speed is so fast it can capture that very nanosecond when a womans mouth is closed,
incredible I know, but I am very loathe to believe it, only joking girls, I know nothing is that fast!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
yes alright, I'm heading for the naughty corner

As we speak Dave I'm working on an answer to that question....

Basil,what on earth are you talking about.I dont want to offend you but what has your post got to do with the grey Nomads forum.Cheers.Ibbo
No you don't offend Ibbo but I do beg to differ with your point of view. If like me you chose to dig beneath the vast social veneer of society you woul;d discover as I have done that just about everything is of interest to us GN's. Just think about it and you will see the light my son.

aymen to that, we are a many and varied mob, we dont care what we yak about, we can go from technical to b/s in a heartbeat, just like around a campfire, thats what makes this the only forum that I would belong to, you can have the rest, now Basil about those weighty sumo eastern souls, HAH!! HAH!! HAH!!!

Mr Basil (freckled face kid at back of room speaks)
While I do not have much trouble with Mr Boyle and his laws, which mostly relate to gas and liquids, and whom I believe was the inventer of BEER (contains both)
I do have trouble with Mr Issac Newton. In this case I believe they should get their heads together to sort out your proposal. Occording to Mr Newton, everything has an equal and opposite reaction (one of his laws)
If Mr Newton is right, and you are right, then Heaven is filling at the same rate as hell.
My question would be,
Where are all these heavenly souls coming from?
If one believes in the first place that there are only two destinations at death, Heaven or Hell, then could it be taken as a random event as to which you get assigned?
Now as for Hell freezing over, well, will we have to wait on the outcome of the climate change debate?
Back to my beer, as my company gave me nothing when leaving, just 7 years of paperwork to keep. Hey - just thought - maybe its the Tax Man thats decides where you end up!!
As for big pay outs that's the way of it, the rules are written by those who stand to gain most and only after their gone do we fully realize that we were shafted yet again.
I really object to big payouts for persons who the leave the country and invest the payout in the oppositions company , Try our latest Telstra CEO to leave and see if the cap fits .
All paid outs should be conditional on the company doing well and not payable until 12 months has elapsed after their departure , just to ensure they haven't cooked the books . Telstra's profit sounds huge for an Australian company but for a company with a sole monopoly on the infrastructure, hence able to dictate charges it is far from satisfactory in fact, in world terms it's a failure of huge magnitude. ,

I heard about a ship building company, in Singapore (I believe). Everyone in that company got paid the same, welder to CEO.
The difference was worked out at the end of the job, when the profit was realised. The welder got so much and the CEO got so much, in some ratio, of the profit.
Apparently, everyone had an interest in making a profit, and working together to get it
Food for thought here in Aussie

Can I further confuse the issue by talking about Purgatory and Limbo????????????????
-- Edited by Mike47 on Wednesday 18th of March 2009 09:41:22 PM
Mike you have the floor, go fo it. Perhaps Hell as we know it could be defined as Sarah Island in the 1830's?

You must be almost a Fossil Dave, to bring a Bex into the conversation. Cheers, xina.
Bex Powders are still available but they have taken the Phenacatin out of it which was the good bit....

hey Basil can we go back to postulate. me being a plumber, i cant find mine so take it slow and draw pictures
My brother in law is also a plumbeir..... He is an excellent postulator especiasly when there is a shovel to postulate on.

if souls have weight and are exothermic, what happens when in the Buddhists and Hindu belief that if one leads a bad life then one will be reincarnated as a lower being, now if one was say an elephant having a mass of some two tons, steps on a mouse, his soul and body could in theory be reincarnated as a flea
now I'm not a great one on maths but the weight difference alone never lone the thermodynamics difference between the two would be astronomical and surely would upset the equilibrium quota in heaven or hell how would that balance be constrained
now this exothermic idea may have merit, given that all souls give off heat and the way that the population is increasing then that would explain why the earth is heating up IT IS NOT GLOBAL WARMING after all, it is all the BABY'S, somebodys gotta stop them
this would also account for the polar ice caps melting, the earth is indeed tipping over on it's axis because of the asian countrys having more children than us, new delhi alone has 8 million more persons living in it than all of australia, thereby allowing more sunlight to strike the pole and thus melting the ice cap
I may put this theory to the scientific organisations, I can see a nobel peace prize in the offing

Basil,it finally clicked,you can speak fluent Algebra.Turned into a great post and is certainly thought provoking.Dave can I have one of your Bex powders please.Now back to the spirit world(Bundy).Cheers.Ibbo
well I happen to know that the native algebreerians cant understand him either, thats how we ended up with him!!
if you dont know where algebree is well it is just off tomquat and as we all know tomquat is full of oomedoodle birds, never heard of the oomedoodle bird well let me explain
the oomedoodle bird is a strange little quirk of nature, seems they are all born without any legs so when they come in to land the male oomedoodle bird calls out "OOOMEEDOODLE, OOOMEEDOODLE, OOMEEDOODLE" as they bounce across the land
