Hell on a budget
-
Suppose you were tasked with the job of designing Hell (whether you believe in Hell or not is irrelevant). Also imagine that you are not given a very large budget for the project. What might your design be? Here's one idea... Everyone who enters Hell is given a very heavy stone. They are then forced to endlessly walk up and down huge mountains in the blistering sun, freezing cold snow, etc. No water, no food, no rest, no clothes (remember, we're on a tight budget here!). If you stop, someone (perhaps cheap migrant laborers) gives you an additional stone to carry and then beats you until you start walking again. Maybe every once in a while one of the cheap laborers kicks you in the face, just to make your day that much worse.

WAY too expensive. First you have to buy huge mountains. Mountain real estate is not cheap. Then there is the matter of a "heavy rock" budget. Have you seen landscaping prices lately? Lastly, you have to pay the migrant workers. Sure, they're cheap now but wait until Hell's congress gives them all citizenship and starts raising the minimum wage. Here's my idea: Open source Real Networks software and force people to document it. :omg:

With what? Remember we're on a tight budget! Also where would you put Hell? Have you considered zoning issues? The whole thing sounds a bit half-baked to me. I urge to consider Hell more thoroughly, and return when you have a proper plan in place, complete with a PowerPoint presentation. Also, don't forget to blog about this, so we can all participate in a Web 2.0 compliant manner.

Fists and feet. Perhaps teeth. :)

Somewhere down in South America, like Chile. They have a lot of mountains down there. I imagine the contingent labor force down there is pretty good.

Narrow cells with no light, no sound, no visitors, no furnishings, not even a discernible texture to the material from which the walls, floor and ceiling are constructed. Residents are tasked with making as little noise as possible - failure is punished with complete sensory deprivation.

Nah, I imagine we could nuke an isolated mountain range somewhere and then just use that. The trick is getting the nukes, but where there's a will...

Good point. Well, we could have some of the "inmates" on a mining duty, where they dig up big rocks.

hmmmm...Perhaps we can put some of the people in Hell on "guard duty" instead of hiring the migrants.

Yeah, but my version of Hell includes beatdowns from cheap migrant laborers! :laugh:

multiple long lines going into the ocean. the person at the front of the line gets hundreds of cuts all over his body from the person behind him, then is thrown into the salt water. they then have to swim through the pain to the shore crawl through the sand while it fill there wounds then get back into line. if anyone resists they have to watch listin to kelly clarkson while watching my super sweet 16.

Well, since you're on a budget... How about trying to pay off a $50,000 credit card bill with 24% annual interest on a minimum paying job with no health benefits. Marc
