submitted by doogle

Can't believe these all have actually happened to some people.

From YT: Ever since man has been in the business of seeking vengeance, torture has been a reality for war criminals, prisoners, and other less than fortunate individuals. In fact, the most unsettling thing about torture isn't its existence, but the way people have injected a perverted sense of creativity into the creation of devices designed to create pain. To prove our point here are the 25 most brutal torture techniques ever devised.

Moving this video to doogle's personal queue. It failed to receive enough votes to get sifted up to the front page within 2 days.

Sending this video to Beggar's Canyon to plea for a little attention - beg requested by original submitter doogle.

A lot of these (the Iron Maiden in particular) were actually just made up in later years by people who wanted to do exactly what we're doing now.

There definitely was torture in the middle ages, but they generally weren't quite as gleefully inventive about it.
