That would be really cool to see... in a morbid curiosity kind of way. Incidentally, my husband caught me in one of those notorious "witch-catchers". ;)
There's times I wish I had a "shame mask to enforce silence".For myself! Oh if I had a dollar for everything I shouldn't have said!
did you float? Well, obviously. (the poor duck sank)Gretchen, I'd be a billionaire too.
My family had artist friends in NYC when I was a kid who had a torture chair at their dining room table. It terrified me.
I ♥ Monty Python. Sarah, I would have been fascinated ... until the night terrors gripped me.
and i heart that you got the referenceare there any guillotines in the auction? we like salads
It would be funny to go up to one of the auction officials and ask "Does this still work?" with a look of stone faced intensity just to watch the reaction.
Hehehe... that would be incredibly naughty (and fun)!(Kev, we just get each other)

There used to a museum in Minneapolis called "The Museum of Questionable Medical Devices." I went once before the museum closed...damn, it was cool. I guess they moved most of the displays to another museum in Minneapolis...http://www.smm.org/visit/collections/
The Questionable Medical Devices on exhibit includes a phrenology machine, vibratory chair, and a fluoroscope, inventions that claimed to cure any number of chronic diseases or treat psychological problems.
