Violent Criminal: Falls off torture wheel.

"The second part is where things get a bit twisted" yeah bro was chilling during the first part

[whanowa]

Fun fact: In German, we even have a phrase that refers to this torture method: "Ich bin gerädert." (literally "I am wheeled") You typically say this after a long day of physical exhaustion, feeling every muscle and bone in your body.

There was a german serial killer who survived for 9 DAYS on the wheel in the 1500s. Brutal.

[lawnmower]

Puts a whole new meaning to 'being tired'

[thesugar]

You realize the medical of that time was absolutely atrocious and at best you’ll be able to sit up but not without agonizing pain.

[lydia]

I have always agreed with the thought that, if you survive a death sentence then you can go free.
