I'm Gonna Need a Bigger Handbasket

Everyone else did this positively ages ago, but whenever I tried, their server would not let me.

Therefore, without further ado, I give you the results of my Dante's Inferno Test:

LevelScore
Purgatory (Repenting Believers)Very Low
Level 1 - Limbo (Virtuous Non-Believers)Low
Level 2 (Lustful)Extreme
Level 3 (Gluttonous)High
Level 4 (Prodigal and Avaricious)High
Level 5 (Wrathful and Gloomy)Low
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)Moderate

Take the Dante's Inferno Test

Yep. I am so going to hell.

Side note: A few years ago, back in Denver, I worked in an antiquarian bookshop that specialized in finding rare and out-of-print books for people across the country. My area was the East Coast, and one day a woman called in looking for a special present for someone.

"Antiquarian Booksearch and Bookshop, this is Ful, can I help you?"

"Hi, yeah. I'm looking for an old copy, something leatherbound, or something? For a present? Of this book?"

"Sure. What's the title?"

"It's called 'Dante's Inferno,' but I don't know the author."

"...The author. Of Dante's Inferno."

"Right, I don't know."

"Hmm. Right. I think you'll find that, um...Alighieri...wrote Dante's Inferno, ma'am."

Personally, I am to this day intensely proud that a) I did not laugh (out loud), and b) I came up with a face-saving reply so quickly. Surely that should remove a few of those black marks on my hell-bound soul, right?
