What circle of hell are you going to be in?
Weird, as far as I can tell, I wont be seeing any of you:
Fifth Level of Hell
The river Styx runs through this level of Hell, and in it are punished the wrathful and the gloomy. The former are forever lashing out at each other in anger, furious and naked, tearing each other piecemeal with their teeth. The latter are gurgling in the black mud, slothful and sullen, withdrawn from the world. Their lamentations bubble to the surface as they try to repeat a doleful hymn, though with unbroken words they cannot say it. Because you lived a cruel, vindictive and hateful life, you meet your fate in the Styx.
Purgatory Repenting Believers Very Low
Level 1 - Limbo Virtuous Non-Believers Low
Level 2 Lustful High
Level 3 Gluttonous High
Level 4 Prodigal and Avaricious High
Level 5 Wrathful and Gloomy Extreme
Level 6 - The City of Dis Heretics Extreme
Level 7 Violent Very High
Level 8- the Malebolge Fraudulent, Malicious, Panderers High
Level 9 - Cocytus Treacherous High

At work we just finished making a set of limited edition artist's books of the Divine Comedy. This artist from L.A., Sandow Birk, and his friend Marcus Sanders translated it into surf/street language, and Sandow drew illustations for it, which we printed by hand. The text and hand printed illustrations are all hand bound in leather with hand printed endsheets. They're pretty expensive, but they are doing commercial editions of the books, they're available on Amazon for about 15 bux, if anybody's interested in reading Dante's Inferno in modern street language. It's actually much easier for me to read than the poetic versions.
