So can we win a day-time time slot with a sort of National Geographic "Executions from Around" the World Slot. More fun than seeing L'l Simba reduce bambi to burger!

(Edited to add: can we do a show right before hand, too, called "Amputations without Anethesia", perhaps with filming in Kabul)

televised stoning would have the same camera angle problems as soccer.

The Bilmore of the Day does not come with a cash prize. It is more of an honor. Like an honorary degree, or bacon. Like you wouldl find in a bacon lettuce and tomato sandwich.

One reason I know I am going to hell is that I have been fascinated with torture since my stroll through the Tower of London at age 14. I actually research these things in my spare time. Most people wouldn't guess that I am an Iron Maiden fan. I am also partial to the boot.

Not even $5? He could go to the movies . . . by himself.

Oh, fear not, you may still get your wishes fulfilled in Nigeria:

BBC Online News Report:

Sex abuser faces stoning death
By Yusuf Muhammad
BBC, Kaduna

A court in the northern Nigerian state of Bauchi has sentenced a 43-year old man
to death by stoning for committing sodomy.

The man, Jibrin Babaji, a Muslim, pleaded guilty to sexually abusing two boys aged
10 and another aged 13, whom he paid 10 naira [less than $0.10] each.
The trial judge, Malam Sani Jibrin Darazo, also blamed the three victims and ordered
them to be flogged six times each for accepting the money for sex.

The verdict was delivered on the day when another Nigerian, Amina Lawal from Katsina
state, won her appeal against a death sentence by stoning for committing adultery.

Mr Babaji was shivering throughout the 90-minute court hearing and covered his face
as soon as the judge pronounced the death sentence.

The case attracted a huge turnout of spectators, who had come to see whether the
accused would be convicted.

They chanted "God is great", a sign that they agreed with the death penalty
imposed on Mr Babaji.

He has been given 30 days to appeal against the conviction.

Mr Babaji is the second man to be sentenced to death by stoning by a sharia court
in Bauchi State.

The first was Malam Rafin Kiyawa, who was convicted for eloping with a married woman.

Although Bauchi state introduced sharia law two years ago, no-one has so far been
stoned to death.

Okay, found a picture and description of one of Uday's old iron maidens. See here [it's Time magazine for christsakes, just click already]:

I will note that there are some seemingly work-inappropriate sites that come up on a google search of "iron maiden torture".

Now what, pray tell, is the boot?
