"The Inferno": I'll See You in Hell

             Aligheiri Dante's "Inferno" is the first of three books in Dante's
             classical work "The Divine Comedy." The "Inferno" pursues Dante's journey
             through Hell on his path to discovering God. He begins at the bottom Hell
             in sin, and must fight his way to the top through a variety of adventures,
             where lovely Beatrice awaits him in Paradise. In modern times, Dante's
             work is still quite applicable, because there are many people who deserve
             to reside in Hell. Instead of nine circles, today there are three - High
             Hell, Middle Hell, and Deepest Hell. High Hell is reserved for those who
             have sinned, but not critically.
             The punishment in High Hell would be similar to Dante's labyrinth, but
             a great beast would not guard it. Howard Stern would guard it, and his
             continual and never-ending comments would be audible throughout the
             labyrinth. There is no exit from this labyrinth, and there is no moving
             between levels. Once you have reached Hell, and been assigned to your
             level, there is no moving or changing position. Lucifer still presides
             over Hell, but each level has its' own master or guard. This labyrinth
             would be elaborate, but laid out in deep sand that is difficult to plod
             through. There are an amazing number of twists and turns, and no matter
             how far the inhabitants of High Hell get into the labyrinth, there is no
             end, and no solution to the maze.
             Middle Hell is a series of physical and mental challenges that never
             end. Those who end up in Middle Hell spend the rest of their lives trying
             to solve them, but as soon as they do, another challenge is set before
             them. There is no end. The masters of this level are Bill Gates and his
             team of software engineers that designed Windows and Microsoft Word. They
             are devious in the challenges they design, and include so many tricks and
             mis-codes that some of the challenges are simply unsolvable. People here
             are baffled by the complexity of the simpl...
