Chinese water torture

When I was a kid, my uncle lived with us. He would administer daily "tortures" which consisted of repeatedly tapping the same spot of my chest, hanging me upside-down, bending my arms behind my back, or giving me an "indian" burn by twisting the skin on my arm in contrary directions. I literally had to cry uncle.

Perhaps those experiences are what made soft on torture. Perhaps that's what makes me want to write a book on torture. Or perhaps this post is just an excuse to post this picture:

By the way, the nytimes says that the U.S. stole its interrogation techniques from communist China. I had always heard of the dreaded Chinese water torture. I'm not sure it's worse than U.S. water boarding torture.
