I'm not trusting Yoshie's gaydar on this one. It's gonna take some persuadin' to make me believe medieval Italy was a good place to be gay (oops, I mean a sodomite).

I love how Dante's damned souls, despite suffering tortures unimaginable, are able to speak in rhymed verse.

(Did anybody hear read Niven and Pournelle's sci-fi version of the Inferno? I loved that when I read it when I was, I think, 12. I still think there may be something in their "shock therapy" understanding of Hell. Assuming I remember it correctly through my fuzzy junior-high-school memories.)
