Hellfire and Brimstone

So, you know brimstone, that flaming mineral that was supposed, by medieval thinkers and writers, to quite literally comprise the smell of the fires of Hell?

Well, it turns out that it is just sulfur. You smell it burning every time you light a match.

I guess it is not surprising that we smell Hell on a daily basis in the modern world, but this is a little too literal, even for my tastes.
