Bamboo torture
Bamboo torture supposedly is a form of torture where a bamboo shoot is grown through the body of a victim. Bamboo torture was allegedly used in East and South Asia. Accounts accuse Japanese soldiers of practicing the torture technique during World War II.[1][2]
The MythBusters investigated bamboo torture in a 2008 episode. They found that a bamboo shoot can penetrate through several inches of ballistics gel in three days.
