    The banana air gun up the tail pipe prank has happened both here and in the UK. Neither died from their injuries but I still wouldn't fancy it! :eek:

    There is a medical condition you can get and your body loses the ability to sleep, a dreadful way to go. But the Romans being cruel gits would cut your eyelids off and that would bring on that condition.

    When I was a mischievous child, I would spend hours playing with friends with a garage air hose.

    We would blow up balloons and blast each other with air.

    A passerby, worried about the dangers of what we were doing, told me a cautionary sad tale, about a young man who worked in a garage and was the victim of bullys.

    One day for laughs,the bullys held the air hose to the young man nether regions and blasted away, killed the poor chap and turns out this happened in Ireland.

    So anyone have any tales of other cruel deaths?

    That incident happened in Limerick about 40 years ago. I don't think the lad was killed but he wasn't the better of it. A friend of mine was about to become an apprentice mechanic, but when his father read about that incident in the paper it was "no working in garages for you".

    Oh, and on gruesome deaths, the popular account of the demise of Edward II of England is that he had a red hot poker thrust up his backside. According to the tale, it was a terrible sin to leave a blemish on the body of the sovereign, so by going the poker up the bum route, his assailants could get rid of him without leaving a discerible mark on his body.

    Nasty way to go.
    My understanding is that the this account was only a legend introduced about a century later and was because Eddie the Second was homosexual (who pissed a lot of people off by granting huge favours to his male lovers in place of official lords/barons etc - hence he was imprisoned and possibly murdered by his wife and son).

    Incidentally, most people know Eddie the Second as the puff from braveheart played by that guard from ballykissangel!

    One night I was at a tearter with my parents. We went to see somee sort of show. There was people hanging from ropes that was attacteched to the seeling. I started getting flash backs of my fear of bats. I turn to my fater who was siting to the right of me and said, "can we go?, please?" he glanced at my mother and said "yes". We got up out of our seats and left.We went out a side door. My confused mother asked my dad. "Whats wrong?" My dad replyed, "I dont know, it was just me, I need some fresh air, come on lets go." We walked up a dark allyway in the moon light. we approached a man. He pulled out a gun and ordered my father to give over his wallet. My father replyed, "its fine, take it easy, take it easy, here you go" My father give him his wallet. The wallet fell n the ground. The man crouched down will keeping the gun aimed at my fater and picked up the wallet. My fater said, "its fine, its fine, just take it and go" He shot my father and my mother screamed and bent over to see was my father ok. The man then grabed my mothers necklase and shot her. Then he ran back up the way he came. Im batman now im fighting crimefor the greater good.

    This was probably the most upsetting news story I've ever heard, and I still feel ill just thinking about it. The fact that it happened shortly after my own first child was born probably amplified the effect on me. That children could inflict such pain and suffering on another child in this cold, calculated manner is just unfathomable!

    I remember one death in the fifties as a result of this, and the guys responsable for it ending up on a manslaughter charge.
    About four years ago few guys in a West Cork sawmill were up on serious
    assault charges following something similar.

    A few months ago a man died only about 300 metres up from my house. He was an elderly man, lived in a caravan, but he wasn't a traveller, in fact he would've owned a good bit of land back in the day, for farming. It was close to a week before any one noticed. :(

    I don't think I knew he existed.


    My dog died. I was there. He was euthanised. He had been run over and was paralysed. Because of this he was unable to urinate or defecate. He spent the last two days of his life in a cage; a glorified kennel. The vet inserted a syringe with anaesthetic into his drip. His eyes went dull and then after less than ten seconds he keeled over with a bang and caused the kennels to shake. He was dead. A dog, just out of surgery and the effects of anaesthesia wearing off began to whimper. He was put into a black bag and we brought him home and we buried him.

    To go like that, so suddenly, exanimous, and then be confined into the cold unforgiven ground after being placed into a black sack.:( I love him :(


    I wouldn't wish a cruel death on anyone.

    James Bulger, it appears, had batteries inserted into his anus before he died. :(

    To spend the last few minutes of your life, your experience and sensory perception in such panic stricken hysterical distress.:(

    Before everything goes blank.


    I wouldn't wish it on anyone.

    Scaphism is probably one of the most horrific sounding ways to die that I've ever heard of.

    Scaphism, also known as the boats[1], was an ancient (around 401 BCE) Persian method of execution designed to inflict torturous death. The name comes from the Greek word skaphe, meaning "scooped (or hollowed) out".
    The intended victim was stripped naked and then firmly fastened within a face-to-face pair of narrow rowing boats (or hollowed-out tree trunks), with the head, hands and feet protruding. The condemned was forced to ingest milk and honey to the point of developing severe bowel movement and diarrhea, and more honey would be rubbed on his body to attract insects to the exposed appendages. He would then be left to float on a stagnant pond or be exposed to the sun. The defenseless individual's feces accumulated within the container, attracting more insects, which would eat and breed within his exposed flesh, which—pursuant to interruption of the blood supply by burrowing insects—became increasingly gangrenous. The feeding would be repeated each day in some cases to prolong the torture, so that dehydration or starvation did not kill him. Death, when it eventually occurred, was probably due to a combination of dehydration, starvation and septic shock. Delirium would typically set in after a few days.
    In other recorded versions, the insects did not eat the person; biting and stinging insects such as wasps, which were attracted by honey on the body, acted as the torture.
    Death by scaphism was incredibly painful, humiliating and protracted. Plutarch writes in his biography of Artaxerxes that Mithridates, sentenced to die in this manner for killing Cyrus the Younger, survived 17 days before dying.[2]

    Anyone remember hearing the following story when they were young?

    I did and it scared the sh*t out of me

    I think I first heard it in 1980.

    ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
    Young boy makes his first communion and is taken to Tramore for the day by his parents. While there he goes into a public toilet while his mother waits outside for him. Unfortunately he is attacked by punks and has his penis cut off by them. He then bleeds to death.
    ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

    other variations:
    1 it was Dublin not Tramore
    2 the "punks" made him eat his penis (some say they wrapped it in tissue and shoved it in his mouth)

    was it true I wonder?

    Was it true?

    Jesus fcuking wept. Dont you think this would probably be one of the most notorious cases in Irish history if it was? People who believe urban legends do my nut in- as if this type of thing wouldnt make the mainstream news.

    As for the original story it did happen, think it was down Clare or Limerick direction, although the guy didnt actually die.

    edit- here she is

    Read that a few weeks ago. This stood out:
    2011: A 25-year-old woman from Ottawa, Ontario and Steven Leon, 40, of Gatineau, Quebec, died after an airborne American black bear smashed through the windshield of their SUV near Luskville, Quebec. The bear had been hit by another vehicle, launching it into the oncoming lane where it landed on the SUV.

    I actually can't get that out of my mind, I have looked for other sources of this since I read that post. Its cruelty upon cruelty, I can imagine the torturer "tender", fighting the smell and walking in a cess, stagnant pool, through a cloud of insects, ranging from bluebottles, mosquito, tics, fleas, and I am pretty sure there were bridges to the victim to allow access for the ground insects and he did this just to feed and water the victim so their agony would be prolonged.

    The insects would have got into every orifice of the victim, their rectum, their penis, or vagina, their nose, ears, eyes and their mouth and they could never scratch or rub or brush them away, It really is beyond the pale.

    I could never do anything like this nor could most of us, what happened to us?. We don't do public torture anymore. We don't want it, not even to animals. Just suppose you had Hitler and you were to give him a horrendous death, as an example to future aspiring despots, you were to do humanity a favour, set the ultimate deterrent. I still could not crucify him, impale him or do the above, it is not in my nature or most of our natures, most wouldn't even have him executed.

    We really have become a better specie in time and in most places we still aspire for a more humanistic world, culture has made us more empathic and better. We have quite a bit to go, but there maybe hope for us.

    It is a very labour intensive way to kill someone. If you tried it now there would be all sorts of health and safety regulations for the torturer.

    I know someone who is slowly being killed.
    They bought a house for 450,000 Euro on a 35 year mortgage in 2007.
    Their current mortgage repayments are 1650 a month.
    More fool them.
    They are killing themselves working trying to keep making the repayments.
    They will still be paying their mortgage at 70 years old on a house which is currently 160,000 Euro in negative equity.
    That's a slow painful death if you ask me.

    Vlad The Impaler wasn't just named for fun you know. He used to have his enemies killed by impaling them vertically over wooden stakes, they would gradually die over a number of days by sinking further onto the stake. Used to give him and his cronies great pleasure indeed.

    But other than that he was a pleasant chap.

    The Jews in Auschwitz how the gas worked was the victims were pushed into an over crowded chamber and left to wait for up to a half an hour till the humidity rose, then the pellets of zyklon b was placed on openings on the roof of the chamber, death took about 10 minutes and they were usually holding on to their children or other members of their family.

    Man we are basically cutns.

    Usually women and children were found at the bottom of massive heaps of people, the strongest have clawed their way on top of the others to try and get the last of the air. Everybody would have defecated themselves. Horrific.
