    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.

    Since I am Jewish, I don't believe in Hell. Now if I were to design heaven I think it would look something like the beach...

      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.

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

                Yeah, the design could certainly be implemented that way.

                      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.

                                  Give everyone hacked versions of VB4 and let them into heaven as soon as they write a bug free C++ compiler. [edit] Or give them '95 era Java and hardware, then have them write half-life 2. [/edit]

                                      Chuck Norris is too pricey for a "discount version" of Hell! :)

                                      Cuck Norris once ate a whole cake before his friends could tell him there was a stripper in it.

                                          And then he told his friends, "I knew she was in there."
