The Lunchtime Quiz today at mental_floss is entitled Medieval Torture Device or Bed Bath and Beyond Gadget? I didn’t score very well at all, since they all seemed to be medieval torture devices to me. Link

    At least one of those is wrong: garlic head crushers do exist.

    Shudder. The Head Crusher and Breast Ripper made me gag.

    Awesome; I got 90%. I'm all set to prepare a lovely dinner and cause excruciating Medieval-style pain. :-p

    100% first try. guess the secret is to be a cooking gadget fan.

    90% first try. rather surprising since I can remember the last time I was in B&B, I guess I made up for it with my knowledge on the Inquisition.

    I thought the Breast Ripper was a gadget. Didn't they used to sell those things? They were supposed to exercise your breasts. Get them "ripped". Oh, well.

    I got 90%. I know next to nothing about torture, and I am unsure if I have ever been inside a B,B&B. The quiz only tests how good you are at taking tests.

    Wow, 90% with no cheating. The lead sprinkler got me (I thought it was the main hose of a squid-like sprinkler system).

    Man, I got 100% on this. When it comes to reasonably priced home accessories and medieval torture, none can stand up to me.

    I got 90% too. Am I a good chef or a killer?

    I got an 80%, I think that means I go to BB&B too often.

    RIGHT ON!!! I got 100% my first time. I've never been to BB&B but I'm a big fan of ancient torture. (You should look up crocodile shears...) Whenever I saw one that I didn't know of I chose BB&B, and got them all!!!
