Jan 24th, 2018: Saint Olga of Kiev
Quote:
Nope, Olga was a Varyag… aka Viking. 20 Drevlian negotiators boated down the Dnieper River to Kiev and appeared to seal the deal in their Sunday finery. Olga had them thrown in a pit and buried alive. Then she sent word to Price Mal to send a company of his best men to escort her to him. She locked them in a bath house and burned it down. Next she went to Dereva’s capital and threw a lavish banquet for the Drevlian soldiers. When they were all drunk she had her men kill 5,000 of them. For the coup de grace, she laid siege to the Capitol starving them into surrender. Then demanded each household in the city bring three sparrows and three pigeons and had her men tie burning wicks to the birds legs. The freaked birds flew home and burned down the whole damn city. And I thought the WW II incendiary bats was original. So how did she become a saint? Quote:

When the red ropes are untied, the two trees will snap back to vertical, and the little dude will be yanked apart by the yellow ropes.

As a kid I feel like there was often an old Johnny Weismuller Tarzan movie showing on a Saturday afternoon, and the natives were always catching some poor dude and executing him this way.

I know--not to brag, but I'm thinking of quitting my day job to become an artist.
