Who Had It Worse: Sisyphus or Prometheus?

Ep. 537

It’s a tale as old as time! Man, he lack fire and cannot cook ham, but thankfully man’s daddy, Prometheus, he give us fire to cook our delicious ham! However his cousin (our uncle??) Zeus hate when man make ham! So punished Prometheus by chaining him to a rock, and made his delicious god liver everlasting. And then punished an eagle to eat that liver every day! And then there’s that other tale that’s as old as time! Some king, he rude and violated the sacred tradition of being a good host and then cheat death twice. This is no good to the gods so now he must roll a big boulder up a hill only to watch it roll back down and then has to do it all again. For eternity! Now as the pearly white gates of hell open before us and the little goblin man that greets us all asks if we want to opt in for the Sisyphus special or the Prometheus platter, we here at Plumbing the Death Star are given the Herculean task of trying to figure out which one is better. Either way, one must imagine Sisyphus, and by extension Prometheus, happy. It’s the only way to get through it.

    Who could forget the 2011 Bradley Cooper vehicle ‘Limitless’? Where he, of course, as you remember, played worthless scumbag Eddie Mora who took so many limitless pills he became Mr Limitless and then eventually, probably, became Mr President (Still Limitless) we think?? Limitless! Take drugs! Have a big think! Fix your life! Maybe if we’d downed some before we hit record we could have come up with something better than Tinker Taylor Tooltime Al.
