[QUOTE=Mr Shadyface;36786371]Post an explanation. Otherwise, you're just posting gore. Is that actually a guitar from the plane? I mean, one: that is a powerful image, and two, that is a STRONG ASS guitar.[/QUOTE] I believe so. The men's bodies were well intact, I wouldn't be surprised if a guitar was.
[QUOTE=PowerBall v1;36786361][IMG]http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/c/c4/Lingchi_(cropped).jpg[/IMG][/QUOTE] What is happening there?
Slow slicing, I think it's called. It's a Chinese method of execution where they hoist someone up and slowly slice of parts of their body in the fashion shown in the picture.
That sounds like a God-awful way to die. Also my avatar fits.
[QUOTE=Scrimp;36787113]What is happening there?[/QUOTE] I believe it was a popular way for the Japanese to execute/punish Chinese rebels or captives. They would cut all the skin off the body, and major parts, yet making sure the victim was alive and feeling all of it, till the very end where they cut the head off i believe.
Wow, this world is fucking bullshit.
You know something's wrong when we feel like cutting and torturing our own kind.
[QUOTE=Scrimp;36787113]What is happening there?[/QUOTE] "Slow Slicing" [quote] Lingchi could be used for the torture and execution of a living person, or applied as an act of humiliation after death. It was meted out for offenses against the Confucian value system such as acts of treason, mass murder, parenticide or the murder of one's master or employer.[2][3] Emperors used it to threaten people and sometimes ordered it for minor offences.[4][5] There were forced convictions and wrongful executions.[6][7] Some emperors meted out this punishment to the family members of their enemies.[8][9][10][11] While it is difficult to obtain accurate details of how the executions took place, they generally consisted of cuts to the arms, legs, and chest leading to amputation of limbs, followed by decapitation or a stab to the heart. If the crime was less serious or the executioner merciful, the first cut would be to the throat causing death; subsequent cuts served solely to dismember the corpse. Art historian James Elkins[12] argues that extant photos of the execution make obvious that the "death by division" (as it was termed by German criminologist R. Heindl) involved some degree of dismemberment while the subject was living. Elkins also argues that, contrary to the apocryphal version of "death by a thousand cuts", the actual process could not have lasted long. The condemned individual is not likely to have remained conscious and aware (if even alive) after one or two severe wounds, so the entire process could not have included more than a "few dozen" wounds. In the Yuan Dynasty one hundred cuts were inflicted[13] but by the Ming Dynasty there were records of three thousand incisions.[14][15] Reliable eyewitnesses, like Meadows,[16] describe a fast process lasting no longer than 15 to 20 minutes. Available photographic records[17] seem to prove the speed of the event as the crowd remains consistent across the series of photographs. Moreover, these photographs show a striking contrast between the stream of blood that soaks the left flank of the victim and the lack of blood on the right side, possibly showing that the first or the second cut has reached the heart.[18] The coup de grâce was all the more certain when the family could afford a bribe to have a stab to the heart inflicted first.[19] Some emperors ordered three days' of cutting[20][21] whilst others may have ordered specific tortures before the execution,[22] or a longer execution.[23][24][25] For example, records show that during execution, Yuan Chonghuan was left shouting for half a day and then the sound stopped.[26] The flesh of the victims may also have been sold as Chinese medicine.[27] As an official punishment, death by slicing may also have involved cutting up the bones, cremation, and scattering of the deceased's ashes.

Sweet jesus, no one deserves that. These didn't really shake the world (not sure there are any left that haven't been posted) but they gave the public one of the best first hand looks at how the body works. These are real bodies, preserved.

It was actually pretty fascinating stuff.

[/QUOTE] I did hear about controversy as to how this was a chinese operated attraction and political prisoners and others were killed for this and had their requests faked. Some of the ways the bodies are used were kind of odd as well: [img]http://www2.pictures.gi.zimbio.com/Body+Worlds+Exhibition+Gunther+Von+Hagens+skyF-hWfTGrl.jpg[/img]
