....why is the condemned in a shallow pool of water? Most racks were tables if I recall correctly, what does the water do in this instance?

Edit: Turns out most artists had never been in the presence of an actual rack and thus just made shit up.

Nonplussed Museum Staff: Do not put yourself into the limb stretcher. Yes, even if you think It'll really help your back. Please just go to a physical therapist if it is that bad.

Omg I've thought this multiple times over the past few years. Like bruh, there has to be some amount where that feels amazing.

Hang upsidedown from something. Maybe pull a little with your arms. It feels almost as good as you think it does.

Ever just lie down flat on the floor?

So good.

The Muppets worked with the Mouse House on this around '96ish (officially purchased in '04). I'm just surprised it's yet to happen. Not that I'm encouraging it, exactly, though I am a fan of parody/satire.
