Well, then. Let me use this opportunity to redeem Asbury Theological Seminary:
When I read Dr. Wood, my words per minute score is cut nearly in half!
To add to your specific density measures, I suggest that you add the weight of the amount of coffee or other sustaining beverage that must be consumed in order to get through the book.
In that case, Theology as History and Hermeneutics, and God and History by Dr. Larry Wood of ATS measure only .5 pounds per cubic foot each. However I had to consume 10 cups of coffee per chapter which comes out to roughly 115 cups of coffee per book. To follow through with my ammended formula for SPECIFIC DENSITY of these texts,
SD=Density of Text + Amount of Sustaining Beverage Consumed (all unites to be converted to pounds)
Where the Amount of Sustaining Beverage Consumed= The weight of the solid matter and liquid matter required to create the beverage.
To continue, each cup of coffee requires the use of .36oz of coffee grounds and 6.258oz of water.
OK, so. Here is the math for the Specific Density of Dr. Wood's texts:
SD= 2(.5p/cu.f) + [110(6.258 + .36)]/16
Which comes out to: the total SPECIFIC DENSITY of Dr. Wood's course equals 46.5 pounds per cubic foot.
Due to my calculations this is indicative of the faculty of ATS and therefore, I consider Asbury Theological Seminary to be a very holy institution according the new definition of SPECIFIC DENSITY of the written works of the faculty and the amount of sustaining beverage required to complete said texts.
Thanks for shedding so much light on this subject, Rev. Mommy, and giving me a chance to redeem ATS in the eyes of the Methodist Bloggint and Seminary communities.
You are welcome.
I would suggest that you add into the equation some notion about how far away the bathroom is, with that amount of coffee...
That is a very noble suggestion! That is very important as the further away from the bathroom you are, the more likely you are to cuss in an emergency!
