9/10….not too bad…guess visiting all the torture museums we came across growing up in europe really paid off…the one in amsterdam was quite good i remember…

9/10
My best score yet. I spend too much time reading of torture, or at BB&B. I missed Spanish Tickler. The Inquisition was for Jews, Muslims, or other non-Catholics. God bless religion.

For five months in 2001, I worked in a kitchenwares store until it closed. I took the sign that said “Gadgets.” 100%.

I should have read the post title as well as the artwork!

Can I use the excuse that I didn’t know Bed Bath and Beyond sold stuff for the KITCHEN?

@Ashley:

The medieval inquisition (from whence these devices hail, if the source website is accurate) was several hundred years before the Protestant Reformation, so what you’d really want to not be is Jewish.

Personally, it just makes me very happy that I am a protestant NOW and not during the inquisition!

9/10, not bad. I’m with you guys, I was sure the breast ripper involved poultry. Is anyone else a little queasy from reading those descriptions? “Ouch” doesn’t even begin to cover it.

100%! Yay! I finally got to use my useless knowledge about medieval torture devices! (Thanks to too many trips to Ripley’s Believe it or Not)
