~ma for your friend, Raq
Congrats, Jars! Can you share your entry?
Zoe: Planet's coming up a mite fast. Wash: That's just cause, I'm going down too quick. Likely crash and kill us all. Mal: Well, that happens, let me know.

Spike's Bitches 46: Don't I get a cookie?
[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

Yup. Also, related to how bog bodies in Ireland often have their nipples cut off, like this chap - [link]
Human jerky warning for the link.

So the nipples would be cut off so that no one could show submission to that person henceforth?

So goes the theory. Iron Age bog bodies in Europe often have various different signs of 'sacrifice', usually three different methods of death (say, throat slit, bludgeoning, stabbed) and the nipple removal would be another level of sacrifice, giving up any chance of kingship in this or another life. It's especially likely because it often seems that very high status people, possibly even people of royal blood, were those being sacrificed.
But, y'know, build a time machine and we'll probably figure out they were just super-kinky.

I wish I could just go somewhere to get flensed but none of the whaling ships near me take Medicare.
That is some killer trivia. Well-deserved win!

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.
