Be careful what you say, my friend with the lead pipes.

There is a circle in Hell reserved for the two tribes who endlessly roll a huge boulder back and forth, doing an exercise that makes Sysiphus look like a slacker.

Dante assigned this level to the hoarders and the wasters, but that was because he wasn't familiar with the various "new paradigms" that keep popping up through the cracks that live 'round here.
