Funny thing happened the other day. I was walking along the Thames with a friend of mine from Russia. We were talking about cruel and unusual punishment (as you do) and how things were really bad in medieval times.

I thought the general ambiance, especially all the rustic debris on the bank of the Thames was perfect for such a conversation.

She then brought up a popular Russian punishment used by the mafia called "concrete flippers". I assumed that to be a translation. Basically they would dip the person's feet in a cast of cement until solidified. They would then lower said person into a pool. You can imagine the rest.

Moments after she completed the description, we walked past this block.
