Day 23 Torture !

My hike through IKEA yesterday cost me a restless night as it was obviously a bit of a strain on my out of condition muscles ! However the pain probably no comparison with the device below.............

Knee Splitter

This is a very popular torture device during the period of Inquisition (that was before they had comfy chairs!). As the name suggests, these device causes the knees of the victims to split.

It is made out of a pair spikes and wooden blocks which are pressed together by a screw until it breaks the knee of the victim.

more ghastly devices...
