	Pitchcapping - Biocrawler (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-15)
		Pitchcapping refers to a form of torture devised by British forces in 18th century Ireland which was widely used against suspected rebels during the period of the 1798 Rebellion.
		The "pitchcap" was then torn off taking lumps of skin and flesh with it which usually left the victim disfigured for life.
		The torture was probably devised as a response to the short "cropped" hairstyle popular in Ireland at the time (hence the nickname "croppy" given to Irish rebels), which was inspired by the French revolutionary style which was in turn, a repudiation of the long hair and wigs of the aristocracy.

	Pitchcapping
		Pitchcapping is one of the topics in focus at Global Oneness.
