The Immortal BANNED Member # 4	written Monday, April 24 2006 15:01 Profile Homepage #25 quote: Originally written by Kelandon: Crucifixion was truly egregiously cruel. Crucifying thousands of slaves in response to a slave revolt was probably the single most gruesome thing the Romans ever did. The reason why there are no forests left in Italy is because they were all cleared to make wood for more crucifixions. Anyway, another particularly terrible method of death is quartering. It's not that it works-- more often than not, the victim is left in a state of purgatory until the executioner has to whip out a saw and begin cutting limbs off to help the horses along. -------------------- * Posts: 6936 \| Registered: Tuesday, September 18 2001 07:00

My flexed throat is so strong I can walk forward while people attempt to choke me.

E=MC Hammered Infiltrator Member # 1092	written Monday, April 24 2006 19:30 Profile Homepage #27 Can I add a couple other options of: 1). Hung upside down, having your clothes being lit on fire on you for a while, then your throat slit so that you may bleed an burn to death. 2). Or a more modern approach. Have the victim hit in the head a couple times, so that they are daze. Then have them bound to a post or something similar, and have a grenade forced into their mouth and duct tape the mouth shut. If you want to know where I got these from, don't ask. -------------------- When you think you can't get any lower in life and hit rock bottom, God hands you a shovel.

Alex Lifecrafter Member # 59	written Tuesday, April 25 2006 06:36 Profile #32 I once saw a Swedish TV documentary on the custom of giving people convicted to death a last meal. A particularly gruesome case was when the last meal was...the person herself. The victims were slowly cut to pieces and fed their lavishly prepared flesh. This was illustrated metaphorically by rotating kebab meat (don't know what it's called - the thing they slice meat off). Not sure how long it lasted or what the actual cause of death would have been - infection, blood loss or something else? I also don't remember when or where this took place, but it might have been in medieval Asia, and the victim(s) was perhaps a group plotting to overthrow the ruler, or a wife caught cheating on him.

too kraut, don't read Shock Trooper Member # 3980	written Tuesday, April 25 2006 06:55 Profile Homepage #34 As repugnant as I find this discussion, I wonder whether there is a common trait among people who are fascinated by the violence involved in the death penalty. In connection with the present death penalty policy in Iraq and in the US, I see an erosion of justice and a tendency to show trials with the political end to distract public attention. The fascination of cruel punishment like torture and the death penalty make us more susceptiple to such distraction and may bring us back to the middle ages, imho. Remember "Panem et Circensem" was the key to winning elections in ancient Rome. Nowadays it may be the gasoline price, Abu Ghraib photos and the death penalty for Moussaoui. -------------------- The opposite of love is not hate, it's indifference.

Or else o'erleap. Law Bringer Member # 335	written Tuesday, April 25 2006 07:06 Profile Homepage #35 The grandiosely named death by a thousand cuts was usually just death by a few dozen cuts for torture followed by the real executiion. It was excrutiatingly painful but really no worse than European public spectacle execution. As far as I know, stories of feeding the victim with bits of himself are all unverified, although it's become reasonably popular in fiction. —Alorael, who has been struck with sudden visions of a harsh taskmaster punishing a failed gymnast with Ouroborosism.
