Code on a Mythic Scale

[flwyd]

After a few typos in a question about an aggravating issue at work in which Sysiphus was mentioned, I suggested the following code:

while (true) {
    try {
        this.push(rock);
        break;
    } catch (RollbackException e) {
        // try again
    }
}

For extra fun label the while "hades"... then you'll be "breaking out of hades"
