Is it me, or are andyman's nails/spikes getting bigger?
View attachment 863321 They seem as long as some of the condemned women's forearms!
View attachment 863320 Yikes! The nail is longer than the stipes is wide! I'm sure I'd pass out with fright seeing that at my crucifixion.
Talk about inducing soul-shattering terror in the soon-to-be-crucified with those monster spikes! Driven all the way in, pushing apart bones and scraping raw flesh as they're pounded in centimeter by centimeter (or whatever is the Roman equivalent), is horror and agony beyond imagination for those poor bitches being nailed to their crosses.
Pounded all the way through, with the head tightly compressing the bones and flesh between it and the wood behind--wow! A gal has to feel pretty damn secure when she's hanging!
The spikes are so long, the executioners might have a problem.
"Shit! What the fuck! I can't pick up my end of the crossbeam." The winded executioner steadies himself on one knee and wipes the dripping sweat off his forehead. "That hammering was exhausting, especially in this heat. My arm is still aching."
"Yeah, can't raise my end either," says the other sweating executioner at his end of the screaming woman's crossbeam. They look at each other. This is just the first of five women they have to crucify today. Already they are tired. He gives another tug on his end of the crossbeam. It doesn't budge. He stands up, groans and stretches as the semi-crucified woman howls even louder. "As if this isn't hard enough on my aching back! But I think I know why we're having so much trouble."
"Uh? Why?"
"Think about it. The new nails as so long we not only nailed this bitch to the wood but also the fucking crossbeam to the ground."
"Wha-?"
"Yeah, must be at least six inches of spike coming out the back of the beam. It went right into this fucking stony ground." Exasperated, the executioner kicks the end of the crossbeam. It only makes the nailed woman scream all the louder, if such is even possible. "Fuck! Who's the asshole who wrote the specs for these new nails, anyhow? I don't see his ass out here wrestling with these cunts and swinging a hammer in this heat!"
"No wonder we're sweating so much. Damn! That was hard work."
"No shit. Now go get the crowbar. We gonna have to pry this crossbeam from the ground. Hurry up. Got four more of these bitches waiting."
"Um, sorry boss. No crowbar."
"The fuck you say! Why?"
"Ah, only the clean-up crew has a crowbar . . . to, um, you know, to pry the nails out after they're dead. Ain't never needed a crowbar at the beginning before."
