By the way, here’s the link to the Slappin’ Healers shop, where you can buy the Slapper and the Hand-Shapped slapper on sale. Sadly, the Big Slapper hasn’t yet been discounted for Xmas.
Maybe the insulin was slapped out of her.
Actually, that totally sounds like it would be a goal of alternative medicine, a way of “detoxifying” you from “harmful chemicals”.
Oxygen is pretty dangerous reactive stuff. Maybe the quacks can sell oxygen deprivation therapy next.
Ultimate Slapdown Challenge: breatharians vs oxygen deprivation therapists:
Reminds me of the guy who was convicted by the Salem tribunal, and they laid him under a board that they piled rocks on, I guess to squeeze the demons out of him. His last words were, “more weight.”
Or it could have been “no, wait” and he just didn’t speak clearly.
Wasn’t there an (alleged) Catholic martyr saint who, when roasted on a fire, cried out “Turn it higher. I’m not done yet.”?
Giles Corey.
St. Lawrence. Broiled on a gridiron. Asked to be turned over.
Gotta give the Romans their props on creativity and style when it came to torture, man.
And Giles Corey was being subjected to peine forte et dur where basically if you chose to not confess they tried to squeeze it out of you. The reason to refuse to plead was to avoid forfeiture of your estate.
Or rather the limitless imagination and obsession Catholics have about suffering. What with all the cut off breasts of saints and stuff like that? The Romans were ruthless and cruel technocrats, but I doubt they performed all these bizarre techniques to kill Christians as were told in legends about early martyrs.
Ah, but remember… by the time they started spreading these stories, the Catholics were the Romans…
The big advantage is a single short treatment lasts a lifetime.
It’s nice to know that it’s not just Americans who are fucking idiots when out of the country.
Silly! they did it that way because it hurt more. Which is the one and only goal. At least the French tried to make execution less painful. Everyone else tried to make it more painful. The bull, the rack, drawn and quartered, iron maidens, flaying, burning at the stake…when you don’t have anything else to do when the sun goes down, humans can get pretty shall we say creative?
Woman tossed by elk cow in Yellowstone park. The moment of impact was not captured but she winds up on the ground a good 20 feet from where she was standing and limps away.
We are three for three on disturbing content, now.
Torture and something about fish and hopefully I won’t remember the other one.
Well, “in the news” 7 years ago…
I see tourists from other parts of the world in the US doing stupid shit all the time.
It’s not that Americans are stupid; people are stupid.
And people on vacation are extra stupid.
