Be aware of my absence

I will not be on this board for about two weeks, starting tomorrow. I will be away to New Zealand. Unless I can find a library, or some other internet source, I will not come back to the board.
I apologize for the short notice, but it was a surprize holiday, and I only just found out!
That is all.

I don't know how helpful this will be but I found a link for you: click.

If you don't manage to get internet access, then I'm sure we'll all miss you.

Why did the vector cross the road?

Well, I'll be away for three weeks starting Tuesday. So, you'll be two moderators down.

Re: Be aware of my absence

And I'm very busy...so I might not get around to coming here for a few days!

So I think it'll just be MathsIsFun and Mathsy then.

It's in the center of hell. There are nine circles of hell.

Re: Be aware of my absence

Look, just because I've studied Demonology does not make me evil!

The fact that my mind is so warped that it's driven me to insanity and given me the will to take over the world does, however, make me evil.

Re: Be aware of my absence

Alright. In truth, the 8th level of hell is the most vicious. But, I'll prove that I'm not all that evilly through these tests I've taken. One is Death Kiddy and the other is which circle of hell I'll be sent to.

Death Kiddy
dk8.jpg
80% - 90% (Serial Killer)
Multiple violent murders, random acts of genocide, puppy strangling and bunny math just get you warmed up. The dark voices are strong in you (as is the vodka) and crowds scatter before your demonic grin! Any remaining family or peers are slowly bleeding to death while you look at their wounds and lick your lips.

Hell
The Dante's Inferno Test has banished you to the Eigth Level of Hell - the Malebolge!
Many and varied sinners suffer eternally in the multi-leveled Malebolge, an ampitheatre-shapped pit of despair Wholly of stone and of an iron colour: Those guilty of fraudulence and malice; the seducers and pimps, who are whipped by horned demons; the hypocrites, who struggle to walk in lead-lined cloaks; the barraters, who are ducked in boiling pitch by demons known as the Malebranche. The simonists, wedged into stone holes, and whose feet are licked by flames, kick and writhe desperately. The magicians, diviners, fortune tellers, and panderers are all here, as are the thieves. Some wallow in human excrement. Serpents writhe and wrap around men, sometimes fusing into each other. Bodies are torn apart. When you arrive, you will want to put your hands over your ears because of the lamentations of the sinners here, who are afflicted with scabs like leprosy, and lay sick on the ground, furiously scratching their skin off with their nails. Indeed, justice divine doth smite them with its hammer.
Here is how you matched up against all the levels:
Level | Score
Purgatory | Very Low
Level 1 - Limbo | Very Low
Level 2 | Moderate
Level 3 | Very High
Level 4 | Very High
Level 5 | Very High
Level 6 - The City of Dis | Low
Level 7 | High
Level 8- the Malebolge | Very High
Level 9 - Cocytus | High

- - - - - - - -
P.S
What Personality Disorder Do You Most Likely Have?
Disorder | Rating
Paranoid: Very High
Schizoid: High
Schizotypal: Very High
Antisocial: High
Borderline: Low
Histrionic: High
Narcissistic: Very High
Avoidant: Moderate
Dependent: Low
Obsessive-Compulsive: High

I was only a staker boy. I don't even skate. Where'd you get the other tests?

Re: Be aware of my absence

I have a question for hell scholars.

Let's say you have been a bad boy (stole a VCR or whatever), and get sent to hell where you are tormented by devils. How long does this go on. Forever? For stealing a VCR?

What are the rules for getting out again?

Re: Be aware of my absence

If you go to hell, you are forever imprisoned there. Tormented for eternity. Stealing a VCR? You'd probably get hit over the head with a VCR alot.

To go to Heaven, one must believe in God, have faith that he is there; and they must ask for forgiveness and repent all their sins.
