Kinda silly, right? He could have just easily paid someone to 
feed him with all the gold he made, right?

Also, Sisyphus must not have been too crafty! If he spend all 
that time digging out the hill then it would have been lower in 
gravity and he wouldn't have to carry it for eternity... just 
give it a nudge and it would roll down. Hen he could use all that 
dirt to build a barricade to keep the boulder from rolling 
away(unless it could magically go through the dirt).
