Some light reading just for the hell of it

(not blogging about Pat Robertson, not blogging about Pat Robertson, not blogging about that idiot Pat Robertson, not blogging about...)

Hey... on a more interesting note, there's a new book out by Chuck Crisafulli and Kyra Thompson that tells you everything you've always wanted to know about hell but were afraid to ask. For example, 'hell' to the Vikings was called Helheim, and it was ice cold, not hot. Who knew?

Two of three places in the world named Hell (Norway, Michigan) are cold too. The other is on Grand Cayman.

And apparently there's an urban legend about the characters of Gilligan's Island - each is guilty of one of the seven deadly sins.

Just a little diversion on a Friday afternoon when I'm trying not to think about Pat Robertson.
