Interesting Locution
Responding to rumors of Abu Musab al-Zarqawis demise, Will Collier of VodkaPundit writes I certainly hope the murderous son of a bitch is assuming room temperature in Hell. And what temperature would that be? I suppose it depends on the room. A toasty 475° F. or so, to broil Zarqawi to a nice golden brown? Or something more thermonuclear, like 8,540° F.? (If Ive understood it correctly, this site gives 5,000 Kelvin as the temperature of a typical nuclear explosion, and that comes to roughly 8,540° Fahrenheit.) Or would room temperature in Hell be icy cold, as depicted in Dantes Inferno? As I recall (its been a while), what Dante and Vergil find at the bottom of Hells pit is three-headed Satan, encased in ice up to his waist and chewing on Judas, Brutus, and Cassius with his three mouths. Which raises an interesting question: after the events of the last hundred years, if not before, have Brutus and Cassius been demoted to ordinary lowest-circle traitors and replaced in Satans extra mouths by more recent arrivals? By todays standards, they would find it difficult to make the junior varsity team of great criminals.

The new model satan’s head is modular, you just add mouths as you add criminals. Hell’s new slogan is ‘we’ll leave the light on for ya’.
