At 4pm each day this month, we’ll be counting down some of the year’s most popular quizzes. (And by “most popular,” we mean “ranked somewhere between #21 and #100,” since the actual Top 20 is listed beside every quiz.)
Today we’re once again asking whether you know your medieval torture devices from your Bed Bath & Beyond gadgets.

Got 100% – but that was because I was just at BB&B today. . .
Those torture devices are really messed up. It’s amazing how humans will sublimate repressed sexual tension into just awfulness. . .

I don’t know which is worse, scoring 100% or the fact I actually knew what the devices were for!
