Watching a video over torture in Sociology caused me to search some stuff up on wikipedia. Boy was I pissed at myself afterwards. Here's the worst of the worst:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Judas_cradle                        (involves loveual torture, click at own risk)
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Choke_pear_(torture)          (just sucky)

And pretty much a list of all of the devices can be seen here by clicking a nationality:

I have no idea why I did this, because now I am certain nightmares will ensue.
Discuss how awesome we are now for having lethal injection or something better than this bullstuff.

Yeah, having a chair shoved into your ass and having a giant pear in your mouth is fun.

I actually have to agree with this to an extent. Physical punishment is bad, but psychological punishment is much more effective. Hooding, Chinese water torture, straight jackets, all of that stuff.

The brazen bull.

Is that were you learned everything? And no.

The vertical saw to the groin death torture beats all.

If anything I'd rather be impaled. But even then you'd be lucky to be thrown onto the thing instead of it being pushed into you through your ass and out your mouth.

[TheScout]

What about the thing where the bamboo shoot grows through your body?

The Guillotine 

My favorite is this. It's so powerful it became a symbol.
