Ancient torcher

The torcher devices used in the earlier years were so gruesome and painful looking. The stretching device called the rack would tear your bones and tendons. They were whipped with a thing called that had small hooks on the end of it that would rip the flesh off people and that could go down to the bone. They had a pear like device that would stretch the human jaw and dislocate it and cause swelling in the back of the jaw and cause suffocation. There was also one on the show, that showed how vlad the impaler would impale people through the rectum and would go all the way through and out of there mouths. This would make it so they could last up to two days with the steak through them. People would suffer so much with this. All of this was on the history channel. http://www.history.com/shows.do?action=detail&episodeId=373070
