I think you, "doth protest too much".
Doeth. And I believe it's "Me thinks thou doeth protest too much."

What may seem funny to one may seem like an attack to another. Especially if the one feeling attacked also feels vulnerable. There have been things I thought to post but decided not to because someone may feel it's a political attack against one side or the other. You just never know how those who whield the sword of power will react when they take something personal.

OK. Your input is acceptable. I concede I may have been wrong. It's just that I've heard "Doeth" spoken. As sometimes happens pronunciations don't always go correctly. One quick word as example is "Nuclear", often said as "Nucular". And it's not limited to poorly educated people. I've seen people in high places make such fo-pa's. (that may be another)

Actually, I think I heard the mispronounced version on an episode of "MacGiver".

Not according to the originator of the sentence - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_lady_doth_protest_too_much,_methinks

And when some one has to say it twice in the thread, AND start a PM with me over it, I think I was within my bounds to post what I did. Sorry if it hurt someones feelings, they don't think twice about mine.
Three times ....

Someone needs to remove their politics colored glasses and see that a cigar is sometimes just a cigar.

FDA: Please, don’t drink hand sanitizer—even if it’s sold in… a beer can?
It can confuse people “into accidentally ingesting a potentially deadly product.”

faux pas = false pass literarily translated from French to English, as in to err, make a mistake, usually in reference to social etiquettes, such as showing up for black tie formal affair wearing a glitzy ostentatious High School prom tux

and faux fur is NOT Fox fur.

This is used a lot in south. When a word is spelled like Nu-clear (New clear) it can be spoken/pronounced according to the dialect of that region.
George W. pronounced it "nuclur" if I'm not mistaken, a Texas twist on the word.
We also use ain't and yuontto (you want to) pronounced "Yu-ont-to"

Always loved the Brits saying Alu-min-ium although I have no idea where that last I came from. Here in Dixie we tend to drop the G on the end of words, gettin, fixin, tryin, etc. Then there is bat-ter-ree vs. bat-tree. Po-tay-toh, po-tah-toh, con-troll vs. cun-troll. Had a teacher that drove me further nuts saying cun-krete instead of con-krete. Only person I ever met using that pronunciation.

Is hell exothermic or endothermic?

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.

So, 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.

Of course, if hell is expanding at a rate faster than the increase of souls in hell, than the temperature and pressure will drop until hell freezes over."

You missed the last part:

So which is it ? If we accept the postulate given to me by Ms. Therese Banyan during my Freshman year 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 (2) cannot be true, and thus I am sure that Hell is exothermic.

Damm I'm afraid to answer but you sound like a digital engineer (well, there will be some, one day) old digital engineers never die, they only lose their most significant bits .

That's why I persue female electrical engineers.Female electrical engineers become irresistible at the age of consent and remain that way until about thirty minutes after their clinical death. Longer if it's a warm day. ;)
