Oh man, I'm on the same level as SOB and Dowding? Yup, it's hell all right.

Interesting that the word "Comedy" in Dante's Divine Comedy has nothing to do with humor. The term was applied to any story that involved a series of descriptive scenery back in Medieval times. It's more like what we would call a play nowadays.

Dr. Faustus (written by Goethe) was played out along similar lines to Dante's Inferno. He sold his soul to the devil (Mephistopholese) for various worldly goods and pleasures. Dr. Faustus eventually had the doors to hell opened up for him when the contract was enforced. Even Mephistopholese felt sorrow for Faustus.

PS-I envision the real hell as an empty, lonely place...with few souls for company. It is a desolate place, and there is nothing there. I doubt many people go there.

2nd level. I forgot to look at the other levels to see how I scored in them.

I'm on staff of course -- boat ride anyone

But if I were a mortal, I would be on the 2nd level.

2nd level for me... I can only hope Weazel is not on the same level, lest I truly be doomed to suffer eternally.

Welcome to the party that is Level 6. Grab yourself a bottle of warm Bud-Lite and enjoy the pan-pipe muzak rendition of Lionel Ritchie's greatest hits that serves as background music.

Yes, this really is hell.
