Doom, doom, doom, DOOM!

I thought the Norwegians had an interesting Easter tradition, but two Philippine villages who crucify volunteers to reenact Jesus's sacrifice have topped my list for one of the oddest traditions ever. They pound four inch nails through their hands and feet to two wooden slabs in the shape of a cross. To keep out infection, the nails are dipped in alcohol. In one of the pictures, it even looks like the man is wearing a crown of thorns. I wonder if they whip them, too? Or give them vinegar to drink? Do they spare them the spear?

Frankly, whoever they hire to drive in the nails probably shouldn't be wandering out in public. Talk about sadism.

One last comment: "Wowzers."

Don't die.
