	Squassation (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-11)
		Squassation was a form of torture used in conjunction with the strappado.
		It was the process of hanging weights from the victim as they were being tortured with the strappado.
		"Four applications of squassation were regarded as equivalent to a sentence of death" (Maple 92).

	History (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-11)
		Strappado (from Latin, strappare == to pull) was customarily one of the "lighter" measures used by the Inquisition and civil authorities, but could easily develop into squassation, a more severe variant.
		Squassation differed from strappado in that the victim was suddenly dropped from a height to within a few inches of the floor; the consequent jerking of his trussed-up limbs caused even more intolerable pain.
		Limborch, quoting Julius Clarus {Practica Crimina), lists strappado as the second degree of torture used by the Inquisition—the first being stripping and severe binding, and the third squassation.

	Aix-en-Provence Possessions - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		With head and feet bare, a rope around his neck, Gaufridi officially asked pardon of God and was handed over to torturers.
		Still living after the torture of strappado and squassation, Gaufridi was escorted by archers while dragged through the streets of Aix for five hours before arriving at the place of execution.
		The priest was granted the mercy of strangulation before his body was burned to ashes.

	The Shrewsbury Ghost Hunt
		The Surrey bridle was inscribed: Chester presents Walton with a bridle, to curb women’s tongues that talk too idle
		Then, the victim was repeatedly dropped from a height, so that her/his arms and shoulders would dislocate.
		Sometimes weights were attached to the feet (known as "Squassation"), to ensure more dislocations and greater pain.

		That was when the victim was dropped for a number of feet and then stopped before hitting the floor.
		When I asked the Professor why it was called "squassation" when obviously everything was stretched and not squashed, she told me that she did not have time to get into word orgins during class but that I would be welcome to visit her during her office hours if I really wanted to know.
		The word squassation has to do with the drop the person takes, but you are only half right that the victim was only stretched by the fall.

		The torture used in England - when it was used at all - was typically swimming, pricking, enforced waking, and a diet of bread and water.
		Unpleasant, but when compared to squassation, being skinned alive, the strappado, the rack, and such delights as the thumbscrews and the iron maiden, hardly in the same class.
		The focus of English witchcraft was more towards simple, personal, acts of maleficia than a perceived consp-iracy against the power of the Christian Church.

		Saruman then instructed one of the Orcs to the reel and, with a gleeful smile he began to hoist the Elf into the air.
		"I once asked you about Squassation Elf, now you shall have the pleasure of experiencing it first hand." He said slyly, "and do not be afraid to cry out.
		It will hurt!" Legolas clenched his teeth together as he was raised into the air, the pain burned through his arms again.

	Guardian Unlimited \| Guardian daily comment \| AL Kennedy: Torture, the British way
		Today's torturers deserve our respect, whether they're innovative freelancers like "Crazy Mike" and Jonathan Idema, or following more conventional chains of command like "Chip" Frederick - they unite dedication and ingenuity with millennia of vicious tradition.
		They give living meaning to puzzling technical terms like falaqa, bastinado or squassation and they cherish the gritty sense of humour immortalised in witty nicknames any torture enthusiast can appreciate - "the parrot's perch", "the telephone", "the electric grill".
		But we have to remember that torture is also as British as the monkeys on Gibraltar.

		In one Call of Cthulhu round we had a mayor and his wife who showed the church officials that they had the torture equipment in top shape and who were extremely interested in it.
		If we'd just said so, it wouldn't have had nearly the wig-factor that it did when the wife lovingly explained just what a strappado was and how squassation worked.
		You may get players who have never read the books and you may get players who have lots more rules and setting knowledge than you do.

		I was, I think, literally anxious about the limitations of my critical-linguistic prowess, the source of potency, sexual or otherwise, rather than its effect.
		Regardless, I was now restlessly pursued, and my life hung in the balance: should I be revealed critically naked, sans academic notepad, I faced an unshaven Inquisition and its iced pincers, its spine-roller and its choking-fruit, then the navel-pricker, the dreaded strappado and ultimate squassation.
		If I survived, I’d be pinned down with Clockwork Orange lid sprockets and eye lube to suffer the Christian miracles of George Lucas.
