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.

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

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."

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...

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

Easy. The only food/liquid available is Chicken Ramen Noodles w/ broth. No switching up the flavors, just chicken. :P
Found on Bash.org [erno] hm. I've lost a machine.. literally _lost_. it responds to ping, it works completely, I just can't figure out where in my apartment it is.

That sounds very similar to the diet of many guys in college. :suss:

Just have them listen to my kids scream at each other. Add having Digimon playing the same episode over and over and you get worse than hell.
