How I feel thieves should be treated.
Today's version is much more streamlined and made from stainless steel for easy cleanup and powered by a cordless drill for more SPH. (Sinners Per Hour)
In fairness, it looks like it would crush Eastern Orthodox or even Protestant hands just as effectively.

If they were still in use today, we probably wouldn't have any politicians.

They only used it on the left handed kids.
Couldn't have kids writing left handed, crush them once, no problem anymore.
