Thus it was written in the epistle of Jim Phillips,
>      A thermodynamics professor had written a take home exam for
>      his graduate students. It had one question "Is hell exothermic
>      or endothermic? Support your answer with a proof."

Don't talk to me of your Archimedes' lever. He was an absentminded person
with a mathematical imagination. Mathematics commands all my respect, but I
have no use for engines. Give me the right word and the right accent and I
will move the world.
