      Heh. I was going to suggest sensory deprivation. Now I'll have to think of something else. Marc

        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.

        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.

                                    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...

                                      I didn't know Judaism didn't believe in Hell.

                                        That actually sounds remarkably like a retreat.

                                          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.

                                          Now that is hell - but luckily Powerpoint is too expensive for our budget and we cannot afford the hosting fees
