7/26/2004: Iraqi Olympic Committee torture device - Page 2

I've been reading "1001 Nights". Apparently that was a common punishment in days of yore. Ouch.

Yeah, apparently feet have some significance in Iraqi society. If you show someone the soles of your feet it's a grave insult, like giving someone the finger in the US. I guess that's why everyone was beating Sadaam's statue with a shoe when it fell.

But after practice Uday took them all out for ice cream.

Happy Monkey · 07-26-2004, 04:07 PM

Which they probably rubbed on their feet.

i remember hearing that the losing team was locked in a room that prevented you from siting up straight, or stretching out for days. and the feet beating would incapacitate you more than just hving sore feet. they break the little bones in your feet, damage the fascia, and ligaments. that can cripple you permanently. ever have planters fasciaitis? it has sidelined athletes for entire seasons. ive had a mild case of it. you wake up every morning with sore feet. it takes about 5 minutes for them to loosen up enough to walk with full strides.

GWB is right about them being evil. it's a shame he is too.

On every post office wall.

Leah · 07-27-2004, 10:58 PM

It's even on the post office wall in Sydney, you must have done something really really bad, you bad boy.

xoxoxoBruce · 07-27-2004, 11:09 PM

Or they wanted to give the place a little class.

Leah · 07-27-2004, 11:10 PM

OK, I'll let you win this time, but only this time.

xoxoxoBruce · 07-28-2004, 06:18 AM
