Hey with the end of the world just about here...thought this might be an interesting question...

According to legend, as a young man living on a plantation in rural Mississippi, Robert Johnson was branded with a burning desire to become a great blues musician. He was "instructed" to take his guitar to a crossroad near Dockery Plantation at midnight. There he was met by a large black man (the Devil) who took the guitar and tuned it. The "Devil" played a few songs and then returned the guitar to Johnson, giving him mastery of the instrument. This was in effect, a deal with the Devil mirroring the legend of Faust. In exchange for his soul, Robert Johnson was able to create the blues for which he became famous.

What would you do....make a deal or just walk away?

What need is there for Nevin to sell his soul as he can outplay the Devil anyway?

I sold my soul in exchange for the looks and voice of Cary Grant. Huh. So much for that deal: I look and sound like Woody Allen on a starvation diet.

I'm here to tell you: don't trust that Lucifer dude. He ain't reliable.

Cheers - C

ddeaton107, readable description, but, as all fairy tales are just that, fairy tales. The soul belongs to the the big bro upstairs and is on loan for a lifetime, selling it isn't possible. Returning it in good condition will definitely help ones eternity position.

Well I think that's what I paid you, isn't it? The bent nickel made from the wrong metal? That's the one I gave you. :|

There is only one thing I would sell my soul for. Only one, nothing else but.

Superpowers.

There I said it, I would sell my soul for some kicks superpowers, then I would fly around in my red cape and underpants dodging bullets and lawsuits.

According to the old Icelandic folk lore, you never got what you wanted when you sold your soul to Lucifer, apparently he was good at selling the cat in the sack.

But to answer the question then: Yes I do every month, but the bill doesn't say Lucifer, it says Arion Bank.
