Comments
actually it was just inspired today by a comment uttered (typed) by burn unit.
wait....wasn't there a book that we all had to read in high school about the different levels of hell...is that what I'm thinking of...what was the name of that book?
Fuck I'm an idiot...I was thinking of Dante's Inferno
si senyorita, within dante's cosmology (abyssology?), the ninth circle is the domain of lucifer - with Brutus, Cassius, and Judas I. condemned forever to be consumed in his mouths.
Thereby Cocytus wholly was congealed.
With six eyes did he weep, and down three chins
Trickled the tear-drops and the bloody drivel.
At every mouth he with his teeth was crunching
A sinner, in the manner of a brake,
So that he three of them tormented thus.
Canto 34, lines 54-59 - Longfellow translation
La (Divina) Commedia
shit i found it in italian too:
Con sei occhi piangëa, e per tre menti
gocciava 'l pianto e sanguinosa bava.
Da ogne bocca dirompea co' denti
un peccatore, a guisa di maciulla,
sì che tre ne facea così dolenti.
This is the "national" edition - modernized? Wikipedia includes a more irregular one. WTF?
ooh. decimal points!
Also, there's a new Tony Kaye documentary out called "Lake of Fire". it's about abortion.
Yep....666 points seems more appropriate.
geez...there are so many interpretations of what could be done with this task...and everytime I see burning lake I want to hear burning ring of fire by J. Cash...
Maybe I should have said a being, not some-'one.' Then kitties, bears, etc. could be included, not just people.
There is also a song called Lake of Fire by the Meat Puppets. It was made more famous by Nirvana on their unplugged album.
hmmm.......visions of middle school (high school??) are coming back to me.......how could I forget about that song!
so ..... is anyone actually going to do this task before it gets approved??
A little girl in the mall once condemned me to an eternal lake of fire. This was (of course) during my goth days. I was minding my own business, trying to find the most morose garment in all of Filene's, when this cute little girl walks up to me and hands me a pamphelet. Then she trundled back over to her mom, who was leering at me from the cosmetics counter. The cover said that God loves me, but the inside revealed the catch: only if I embrace Jesus. Otherwise, Lake of Fire for me, where I will Burn for all of Time. So it goes.
Okay....this seems all to familiar...what book were you reading when you made this task? Or what book am I thinking of....why does this seem so familiar? God this is gonna bug me all night!
