Rockfish should pay more attention to the tense. It says "I am sure that Hell is exothermic and has already frozen over". If it has already frozen over, then it "was" and not "is" exothermic. Vvrum's conclusion regarding theists altering the ending (which is not as common as the ending stated by bluebutterflz) is probably right. The alternate version is actually funny because it is credible, in contrast to the one shown above. No…hanzee, the year 12 chem student, is right.

The more common ending I've found is this one: If we accept the postulate given to me by Ms. Teresa Banyan 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 still have not succeeded in having sexual relations with her, then #2 cannot be true; and thus I am sure that Hell is exothermic and will not freeze. THE STUDENT RECEIVED THE ONLY "A" GIVEN I must admit that I can more readily see a student handing in this version rather than the one I read here. The website http://www-users.cs.york.ac.uk/~susan/joke/exoendo.htm discusses the different versions. Many different versions exist of this joke. The more common ending I’ve found is this one:

Second of all hell would be exothermic and not endothermic in this joke. Endothermic reactions start of "cold" and take in energy to get "hot". It's exothermic because it started off "hot" by giving off energy and reached a stable level which the joke meant as it being "cold" in the end. So next time you though you found a flaw in the joke look think it over again or someone like me who gets linked to a funny joke decides to point out your "year 12 chem" error's :P First of all this joke is awsome and I give credit to who thought it up.

Although it appears to me the error mentioned of the exothermic being switched around is a result of that modification. Being that there is a postulate that "therefore God exists" I'm guessing this was a Christian theist who needs to learn more about science and logic. This is a variation on a classic joke.

But its a joke, its supposed to make you laugh...it did....so purpose served :) Hi Hanzee,
