Write in your will that you want to be buried with your hand attached to a string that can ring a bell on the surface.

Thanks! That would've worked, but in fact I've already chosen cremation in my will. You know, one less thing to worry about....

Best way to go: like a mosquito - you're buzzing around someone's bedroom when suddenly two enormous hands come out of nowhere and it's all over before you know it.

The bronze bull thing where they stick you in a bronze bull and set it on fire. The acoustics of your screams coming from it is supposed to sound like an angry bull.

Here's how it worked:

A smooth, thick pole with a narrowed, but blunt, top end would be embedded in the ground. If you think of a width you can barely get the fingers of both hands around, you're probably about right. The height of the pole is carefully adjusted so the top is slightly higher than the victim's behind, when standing on tiptoes. It's a bit like hanging, where you adjust the rope length for the weight of the victim, but in this case we adjust the pole for height.

The pole and the entry point are then smeared with fat or grease. The victim is held above the pole and placed down on it. If the width doesn't quite fit, that's not a problem; simply use a knife to slit from the anus towards the genitals until we have a snug fit. Now the victim is lowered down until they can stand on their own feet on tiptoes.

You see why the pole height varies per person. The pole is in, and the victim can't step off because even on tippy toes, too much of the pole is inside, but to keep it from going further in, the victim has to stand there, and stand, and stand. For days. They can't keep this up forever. Eventually their feet slip a trifle, or they sag, and the pole slips further in. Because it's blunt, it pushes organs to the side as it penetrates. With every slippage, there's a tear and a little more blood loss, weakening the victim, making it harder to stand, so the pole pushes further in, and so on in a vicious cycle. The grease and fat and blood trickling down the pole would have attracted flies and other insects, which would have eaten their way into the wound to add to the torture.

Past: the Romans used to have this thing where they would sew you up into a bag, and also in the bag was a live snake, a dog and a chicken. Then the sack got tossed into the river. Imagine the carnage inside that sack! Doesn't bear thinking about! :yikes:
