spending my night reading about pirate torture for an essay Im writing. lets just take a moment to consider this particular type of torture called woolding: “‘they strappado’d (strappado: a form of punishment or torture in which the victim was secured to a rope and made to fall from a height almost to the ground before being stopped with an abrupt jerk) him until both his arms were entirely dislocated, then knotted the cord so tight round the forehead that his eyes bulged out, big as eggs. Since he still would not admit where the coffer was, they hung him up by his male parts, while one struck him, another sliced off his nose, yet another an ear, and another scorched him with fire.’” youre welcome for starting your day off right.
