Whatever it is, it was found near the coast of St. Augustine Florida in 1896. I saw a program last night about it and there is debate in the scientific community regarding whether it is the remains of a giant octopus or a mass of whale blubber. Some of the remains still exist, however, they are preseved in formaldehyde therefore making a DNA test impossible.

Looks like one of the torture devices we saw at Medieval Times in Dallas. If I recall correctly, they would impale you with it by lowering you onto it in a sitting position (aiming the point for your rectum) while wearing a weighted vest.

If I'm wrong, I bet I sound stupid and/or demented! :hihi:

Found it!

The Judas Cradle, a terrible medieval torture where the victim would be placed on top of a pyramid-like seat. The victim's feet were tied to each other in a way that moving one leg would force the other to move as well - increasing pain.

The triangular-shaped end of the judas cradle was inserted in the victim's anus or vagina. This torture could last, depending on some factors discussed below, anywhere from a few hours to complete days.

Death Factors

The time it took someone to die varied enormously from individual to individual. Torturers would sometimes add weight to the victim's legs as to increase pain and hurry the victim's death. Other torturers would place oil on the device which increased pain considerably.

This device was rarely, if at all, washed. If the victim did not die quickly enough, or their painful execution was interrupted, they would invariantly die from an infection.

The victim was sometimes rocked or made fall repeatedly onto the "pyramid". This was done so torturers could acquire vital information from the victim. If he or she refused to talk, the torturer would either add more weight to the victim or make him or her fall repeatedly on the device.

Other information

The Judas cradle was called the culla di Giuda in Italian, the Judaswiege in German and The Wake in French.

The victim was usually naked when subject to the Judas Craddle. This was to increase humiliation.

To prolonge the victim's life and cause more pain, torturers would sometimes rise the victim with ropes for the night and continue the torture during the morning.

A common variant of the Judas Cradle was the Impalement Torture - equally painful.
