In the meantime, following a link-back from a passer by, I came across the Dante's Divine Comedy Quiz. Yes, it's one of those annoying quizes the internet is full of. The Inferno, from what I recall of freshman lit, was a pretty interesting read. And since the guy shares my name, I figured it was worth trying.
Five minutes later, I find that I'm going to the Sixth Level of Hell, AKA The City of Dis. According to the poet Dante that involves the following:
"You approach Satan's wretched city where you behold a wide plain surrounded by iron walls. Before you are fields full of distress and torment terrible. Burning tombs are littered about the landscape. Inside these flaming sepulchers suffer the heretics, failing to believe in God and the afterlife, who make themselves audible by doleful sighs. You will join the wicked that lie here, and will be offered no respite. The three infernal Furies stained with blood, with limbs of women and hair of serpents, dwell in this circle of Hell."
Bummer, but as a non-believer I'm not yet terribly worried. And it's the only level of hell with a city, so that sounds pretty cultural and happening. Probably has a good public transit system too. But I guess if I want to make it all the way to the ground floor I need to be a bit more treacherous. Hmm, not a bad new year's resolution.
So here's the link, plus how I scored (presuming their HTML coding works in this blog):
The Dante's Inferno Test banished you to the Sixth Level of Hell - The City of Dis!
Here is how you matched up against all the levels:
| Level | Score |

| Level 1 - Limbo (Virtuous Non-Believers) | Low |
| Level 2 (Lustful) | Very High |
| Level 3 (Gluttonous) | Moderate |
| Level 4 (Prodigal and Avaricious) | Low |
| Level 5 (Wrathful and Gloomy) | Moderate |
| Level 6 - The City of Dis (Heretics) | Very High |
| Level 7 (Violent) | High |
| Level 8- the Malebolge (Fraudulent, Malicious, Panderers) | Moderate |
| Level 9 - Cocytus (Treacherous) | High |

You honor me, thank you for visiting my blog. I didn't make it to any level as no doubt you discovered. I mostly was sent to purgatory, but as a non-catholic I am not worried. Hope you have a lot of good things this year.
