Throwing someone into an active volcano would somehow appease the Gods and prevent the inevitable eruption.

How about the ole chair dunk in the lake to prove a person was a witch...if they didn't drown. Now THAT was water-boarding.

Well, I think that's still a pretty good idea, Mr. stumppy.
Here's one ... they used to think that if you drafted thousands of defensive linemen, your football team would get better. FAX |

Flogging is the word I believe. If you floated you were a witch and to be burnt at the stake. If you drowned you were not a witch, but you were dead. It's the Kobasi Maru

My favorite is the idea that human knowledge ever has or now does amount to anything meaningful.

An old Scandinavian name for northern lights translates as "herring flash". It was believed that northern lights were the reflections cast by large swarms of herring onto the sky.

On the subject of the glass thing, Mr. Garcia Bronco ... at one time, didn't they think that the Earth was surrounded by a big sphere thing, too? And the stars were holes in the sphere, or something? I think I read that somewhere in some stupid, ancient book.

I'd give about anything to go back in time and snuff that one out before it began.
