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.

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. Filling a car with gas in the middle of Nebraska in January at four in the morning with wind blowing snow at 30 miles per hour and a wind chill of about 30 below.

A billion billion tiny little rooms. Too small to stand up in, too narrow to lie down in. The walls and roof are freezing to the touch, the floor is just this side of scalding hot. And 24/7 Mariah Carey played by a Chinese orchestra and sung by Justin Timerlake.

Dude, pray your mother doesn't read you describing her womb as a cubicle.

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.
PEACE <3
I was thinking it didn't sound too bad, then you got to the Kelly Clarkson bit. Argh! (I'd always go for a good swim in the sea if I cut myself, had a graze or anything like that. The ocean water heals wonderfully.)

BTW I think there is a book or religious cult who believe in your vision of hell. I vaguely remember reading once about a chap who toiled up a mountain for all eternity carrying a rock on his back. I think little men would hurl stones at him from the top which regularly hit him, knocking his rock back down the mountain. When he reached the top they kicked the rock back down, he trudged back down and started again. Frankly I think my future kids should do some manual labour like that to give them a bit of backbone...

Beef and salt. Every other label is a combination of those 2.

Actually she didn't enjoy it at all. Chuck Norris just stared at her until she begged him to continue eating her limbs. :-D

Put them in a 10x10 cube and tell them they had to build software with contradictory requirements, an irrational schedule, and threaten to outsource their jobs to Israel if they don't perform to expectations. Oh shit...

Glad you're taking the initiative. Have the functional specifications on my desk by Monday.
