11. Scaphism
A favourite of the ancient Persians, Scaphism is one hell of a torturous death. The victim gets stripped naked, then placed between two narrow rowing boats, or a similar setup using a barrel or hollowed out trees, with their head and limbs poking out of the sides. They are then force-fed milk and honey, until the inevitable diarrhoea kicks in. More honey is then poured on them to attract insects. They are then left to rot, either in a stagnant pond, or in the baking sun, with insects attracted to the body, eating at it, and reproducing within the flesh. Death would be very slow, and very, very painful. It came about mainly by dehydration, starvation and septic shock.

7. The spanish donkey
Something similar to the Judas Cradle and a favourite of the Spanish Inquisition, particularly for women offenders. However, this method was used as recently as early colonial America. The victim would ride the top of the wedge, which could also contain several spikes. Weights were generally placed on the ankles, to add to the pain. Death was rare unless spikes were added, so other tortures would continue after the wooden horse.

8. Buried alive
A pretty simple method, but obviously very effective. It’s pretty much my worst nightmare, and the main reason I want to be cremated. The victim is buried alive, unsurprisingly, and usually in a coffin, so they don’t die from being crushed or suffocation, and have the torment of being alive inside the box. The most recent example of this is the Nanking Massacre in 1937, where Japanese soldiers buried Chinese civilians.

9. Rat torture
Recently shown in Game Of Thrones, this one has been around for some time. A metal bucket is strapped around the person’s lower abdomen, with a rat inside. The bottom of the bucket is then heated up, and the rat’s natural instinct is to flee from the heat, so it starts to burrow into the victim. Painful and slow, it sounds horrific.

10. Flaying alive
Another one to feature in Game Of Thrones is being flayed alive. Or ‘skinned’ as it basically means. The victim’s skin is removed from their body, while alive. It can start at several places on the body, and the aim is to remove the skin in one whole piece. The main reasons for death with this are shock, severe loss of blood, hypothermia and infections. It looks a bit sore.

4. Bamboo torturé and execution
It’s starting to get a bit more grim now… After WWII stories circulated about Japanese soldiers using this method of torture and execution on prisoners of war. The person is secured over a young bamboo shoot. Bamboo grows quickly and is powerful, and the sharp shoot will push up, into the flesh of the prisoner, and will keep going until it pops through on the other side. Mythbusters tested the legend, and concluded that it is possible, and likely to be true. Bamboo is still used as a torture method today, as shoots of it are forced into the fingers, underneath the nails… Which made me wince as I typed it.

5. Lingchi (slow slicing)
This Chinese punishment was only outlawed at the turn of the 20th century, and is brutally harsh. Basically, the executioner slices and cuts off small parts of the person’s body, while keeping them alive, so they suffer and feel the pain, until eventually, they die. Cutting at digits, then limbs, then the torso, it was rather methodical… And fucking ruthless.

6. The judas cradle
This probably inspired some Saw movies. Bordering on impalement, this method is a royal pain in the arse. The victim is sat on top of the pyramid, then pulled down by ropes, until the pyramid goes up their bum, slowly and painfully. Seeing as the devices were never washed, even if you somehow survived the torture, the inevitable infections would be the cherry on top. Good luck surviving those.

1. DEATH BY SAWING
A method apparently used in parts of Europe and Asia, the body is held upside down, and then sawn in half, starting at the waist. With the body being inverted, there is enough blood in the brain to keep the person alive long enough to feel and suffer until the saw gets into their abdomen. Rough. And believe it or not, we’ve started light…

2. CRUSHING/PRESSING
This form of execution was made famous during the Salem Witch Trials in Massachusetts. Giles Corey was believed to be a witch, so they put him between two large boards, and kept adding weight as a form of torture, to try and get him to confess to being a witch. Because, obviously, he wasn’t a witch, he never confessed, and while they were piling more and more on top of him, his last words were apparently “more weight”.

3. CRUCIFIXION
We’ve all heard about JC dying on the cross, but not many people realise just how common this method of death was. The Romans were mad for it. Sometimes they were nailed to the cross, other times they were tied to it. The death would be slow, painful and drawn out, lasting days and even weeks. You can look on the bright side of life all you want when you’re up there, it’s still going to be horrific.

All these were gotten from my research from nigerian medical articles. Comments, criticisms and contributions are welcome as I still need to learn more about diabetic diets for better managements of patients.

Diabetes (Diabetes mellitus specifically) is a disease most people are familiar with or have at least heard of. Its a chronic disease where the body finds it difficult to regulate the amount of sugar (glucose) in the blood.

So far, it has no cure however it can be managed with the possibility of the patient living a normal, very long, healthy and happy life. Proper management usually involves life style modifications ( proper diet, regular exercise) and appropriate medications(oral or parenteral).

Everyday during the course of my practice as a medical practitioner, I come across a good number of diabetics, most of whom show serious concern about their diet. Many of them complain that they are tired of eating beans and water yam alone and that people told them to stop eating most of the other meals they are used to. The frequency of this complaint made me realize that there is a huge misconception by the general public about what meal is appropriate and what isn't for a diabetic. I always try to explain what a proper diabetic diet really is and many patients understand but many still get confused; hence I decided to research on it and use this medium to break it down to the simplest format for proper understanding of diabetics and people who have family/friends living with diabetes.

This meal schedule was designed to be both affordable and rewarding for any diabetic patient in the tropics; with emphasis on Nigerian local dishes and an unambiguous quantifying system. Any combination of the appropriate meals indicated below is okay as long as it is a balanced diet. Try not to let d measurements confuse you. The point is just to get an idea of the quantity required per meal.

Abeg, I go borrow money for dis 1

Tnk u PMB.

Lawyers should never ask a Georgia grandma a question if they aren't prepared for the answer. In a trial, a Southern small-town prosecuting attorney called his first witness, a grandmotherly, elderly woman to the stand. He approached her and asked, 'Mrs. Jones, do you know me?' She responded, 'Why, yes, I do know you, Mr. Williams. I've known you since you were a boy, and frankly, you've been a big disappointment to me. You lie, you cheat on your wife, and you manipulate people and talk about them behind their backs. You think you're a big shot when you haven't the brains to realise you'll never amount to anything more than a two-bit paper pusher. Yes, I know you.' The lawyer was stunned. Not knowing what else to do, he pointed across the room and asked, 'Mrs. Jones, do you know the defence attorney?' She again replied, 'Why yes, I do. I've known Mr. Bradley since he was a youngster, too. He's lazy, bigoted, and he has a drinking problem. He can't build a normal relationship with anyone, and his law practice is one of the worst in the entire state. Not to mention he cheated on his wife with three different women. One of them was your wife. Yes, I know him.' The defence attorney nearly died. The judge asked both counsellors to approach the bench and, in a very quiet voice, said, 'If either of you idiots asks her if she knows me, I'll send you both to the electric chair.

The fact that u find it difficult letting people know ur stand raises a red flag about whether u truely believe in atheism or not.If u believe so strongly in it, u shouldnt give a damn what others think about u. Its not like they would Hang u neither Is it like Ur shoving atheism down their throats. We all have the free Will to believe what we wanna believe as long as it doesnt involve people getting hurt; but first, think u should take a step back and reassess Ur stand. Im not sure deep down, u really are an atheist.

Reminds me of one of the most recent episodes of greys anatomy. A man thought for years to have alzheimers became alright after he was involved in an accident. Was later discovered there was an obstruction in d csf drainage in his brain causing fluid build up which was putting pressure on his brain tissue hence d symptoms he was having. The accident dislodged d obstruction.
