    Thumbscrew! I saw one of these in the San Francisco Wax Museum of Torture (or something like that). The guy I was with had to leave halfway through. :)

    C’est une paire de menottes pour les pouces.

    Le magicien Harry Houdini utilisait cet appareil pour se faire attacher les pouces.

    Well, you could put your nuts in it, if that’s your idea of a good time…

    I think it’s telling how many folks took one look and said, “Oh! Thumbscrews!” Like I did.

    Guessed right in just 9 minutes by yawfren – a record, btw. Er, how come so many of you know that it’s a thumbscrew? What kind of people read Neatorama?

    Here’s where I get it from: Yossie Silverman’s freakishly cool collection of handcuffs and other strange devices at Blacksteel
