Beat: The worst way you could die

[hexag1]

you people are all wrong. the worst way to die by far is this insidious torture deveoped by the romans:
basically, you were shackled / tied down, and a metal cage was placed around your head. several large rats were then put into the cage. outside the cage hot embers or fire were placed close to the bars. the rats, in an effort to get away from the fire would EAT THEIR WAY THROUGH YOUR [censored] HEAD.

variations unclude putting the cage around the midsection or chest.
