Hello list.

Here is a cool story.  Probably many of you know it.  In the case there are some who don't, I post it here.

It is about how the (older) chineese think about heaven and hell.

In hell, all damned people are sitting around a large cup full of rice.  They have sticks of 4 meters long.  They try to get some rice, but with those too long sticks, impossible, the rice falls way before they can get it into their mouth. They are hungry, thin, and upset.  They are in hell.

In heaven, all elected people are sitting around a large cup full of rice.  They have sticks of 4 meters long.  All of them are giving some rice to the guy in front of them (it works just nice).  They all are happy and sing.  They are in heaven.

Lately, I felt like in hell on PTG.

Just my 2 euro cent.
