Part 2: 1) Water Torture Honestly, these people use anything they find and make it a torture device, don't they? The torturers used water as a torture device by basically forcing them to drink water until they can't hold anymore, and they... they... they burst. Worse yet, imagine taking in pints and pints of liquid with your head tipped upside down! Gravity says no! EVEN WORSE, sometimes they would even beat the victim until he/she threw up then they just continue that force drinking process! Who's idea was it to keep this legal? WHO?? 2) Mask of Shame I wouldn't say this punishment is that bad but it doesn't mean I'm not complaining either. These masks were used for public humiliation and meant to be worn at ALL times. They often had donkey ears and/or pig's snouts which I find very offensive because all animals are adorable! They are not humiliating. Hmph. Moving on, to make it even more embarrassing for the wearer, the had bells or whistles on them to call attention to the wearer. And wearers would even be attacked by hostile mobs who probably had pitchforks lit on fire (I know I'm not the only one who imagines it that way). But still! Not the worst part. I'd say the worst part is you can't eat or sleep! Those are the only parts of the day anyone looks forward to! Way to strip people of their basic human rights, Catholic Church! Grr, darn you. 3) Mice Brrrr, this one gives me shivers. Torturers simply put a mouse inside the victim and the mouse crawls around in there! Just to find it's way out. Very, very painful. Was anyone thinking about how the mouse felt in there? I don't know which I pity more: the mouse or whoever it's in...
