Beth Plocharczyk plocharczyk.1-at-osu-dot-edu. Thursday, May 22, 2003. My friend Clint has linked a Hell-boundedness test to his blog. He's a lot more virtuous than I suspected. I, on the other hand, am destined for at least the City of Dis. The Dante's Inferno Test has banished you to the Sixth Level of Hell - The City of Dis! Here is how you matched up against all the levels:. Level 1 - Limbo. Level 6 - The City of Dis. Level 8- the Malebolge. Fraudulent, Malicious, Panderers). Level 9 - Cocytus.

http://merrierworld.blogspot.com/2005_03_01_archive.html
If more of us valued food and cheer and song above hoarded gold, it would be a merrier world." - J.R.R. Tolkien. Saturday, March 26, 2005. Regression toward the mean? That was hardly in the cards. Now, with fewer than eight months before Marquette joins the growing Big East (having snagged all the good teams from Conference USA), one has to wonder. Nevertheless, any way you look at it, it looks like seven years of famine. Posted by Slappy White @ 3:55 PM. By President Bush, any different? Those that are ...

Exploring voluntary commitments to abstinence or temperance, in gambling, drugs, and beyond. Saturday, February 15, 2014. New Jersey Adds Internet Exclusion.

Random Thoughts About International Finance and the Global Economy. Tuesday, September 17, 2013. So Much for Energy Independence.
