Redesigning Ha.des: The Cosmic Loophole in God’s Legal Team

An engineer died and, due to a massive clerical error, was sent straight to Hell.

Unimpressed by the miserable conditions, she immediately set to work. Within weeks, she had designed and built major infrastructure upgrades. Soon, Hell was equipped with central air conditioning, ice water, flushing toilets, and moving escalators. Needless to say, she became the most popular soul in the underworld.

A few months later, God called Satan for a routine check-in. “So, how are things going down there?” God asked.

“Oh, absolutely fantastic!” Satan beamed. “We’ve got AC, ice-cold water, and escalators now. There’s no telling what this brilliant engineer is going to build next!”

God was horrified. “What?! You have an engineer? That’s a mistake! All engineers go to Heaven. Send her up here immediately!”

“No way,” Satan laughed. “I love having an engineer on the staff. I’m keeping her.”

Furious, God boomed, “You return her right now, or I will sue you for everything you’ve got!”

Satan burst out laughing hysterically:

“Oh yeah? And just where exactly are you going to find a lawyer up there?”
