10 Torture Devices to Avoid This Month (Part 1): Don't you just hate when they order you for torture. UGH. The worst. One mistake and you're sent to the Inquisition. (I was framed! You know what I got for it? Permanent damage!) What's the point in having a king when he's not even actually ruling, the church has the real control and the church is brutal, no doubt about it. Hmph. Well, lucky you, I'm here to tell you what the Inquisition has in store for you if you were to... Well, do something. Here are 10 torture devices to avoid this month! 1) Coffin Torture If you get stuck in this bad a pickle... Boy, you are not getting out. When the torturers use this method on a person, he/she is placed in the coffin BUTT-NAKED and the coffin is hung. For minor crimes, they'll have to stick around for a couple days, but for more serious crimes... you dead. And watch out for the pedestrians because they will attack with their award-winning tomatoes. Sigh, tough crowd. 2) Breaking Wheel Well doesn't that sound pleasant. In short, they tie you to a wheel and slam your limbs with a hammer while they spin the wheel. This punishment really ruins Thor for me... 3) The Rack This device was the most gruesome. Would the victims really rather have their limbs torn from their bodies than to just confess? Honestly, it doesn't sound too difficult... The Rack was a form of torture that came in many types of devices. The main idea is one would be strapped to the device and there would be a type of crank. The cranking would tighten the ropes, dislocating the victim's limbs and if they still haven't 'fessed up... Well, I guess they'll have to manage with a peg leg...
