> [@Steve\_Wright](#): > > I realized the ancient Egyptians had the right idea when I read the Book of the Dead and noticed that, after the opening invocations to Osiris and such, the first thing in it is a “Prayer to Avoid Doing Work in the Afterlife”. Cool. I had to read Dante’s\* Purgatorio \*for a Medieval Studies class, back in the day. In the _Purgatorio_, souls climb a mountain toward heaven and at each level suffer some punishment to drive one of the seven deadly sins out of them. The punishment for the fourth level (Sloth - halfway there, everybody!) is enforced, constant jogging. I think I like the Egyptian outlook better. ---

This is all poppycock. Everyone knows she got reincarnated as the Princess of Whales. The cosmos has a sense of humor. ---

**Coryraisa** took off after realizing that this isn’t one of those “You pretend to believe anything I say, I’ll pretend to believe anything you say, and we’ll all be special together” message boards. ---

Well… she DID resurrect a zombie, so maybe she IS psychic or something. ---

But it was so much fun in High School when all the kids were psychic and/or wizards, even though we all secretly knew that everybody was bullshitting each other. Can’t we go back to those halcyon days? (Granted it always was kind of awkward when you bumped into someone who genuinely believed it and then the game stopped being fun) ---

The deadpan style and level of detail in **copyraisa** ’s posts were actually fairly impressive. This is a higher quality of writing than one usually finds from newbies who append bizarre comments to zombie threads that were already inane ten years ago. ---
