Okay, those who don't make the cut get cast into the lake of burning brimstone for Eternity, or something like that. I have a much more fiendish alternative: those who don't make the cut are stuck forever at a terminal with no 'n' key that prints nothing but Bible-thumping net.religion articles full of logical fallacies but you can't reply to them because your mailer is broken. (I know, it's a run-on sentence, but it's the effect I was trying for.) One other comment: we had a discussion here a while back about how, thermo- dynamically, Heaven should be hotter than Hell. I think I have the solution: Heaven is air-conditioned, the waste heat is vented to hell with some losses that form background radiation in the universe.
