If a certain Murphy's doings in this world are any indication as to how
hell works then the physicists's refrigerator would generate heat at both
evaporator and condenser exactly five seconds after the physicicst would
start enjoing the machine's operation. Additionally hell would be
controlled by a certain popular operating system, such that it would be
provenly and consistently non-deterministic most of the time, and they
would ship upgrades on time, to no avail, forever.
