Well, yep, I guess creating this wasn't really an innovative idea:) I just wanted to see how those lists work and look.

grulmlurg commented on the word pranger
One of the most popular torture devices across Europe. Other than having limbs put in wooden frames, like in stocks or pillory, a criminal was tied to a column. However, only punishments by humiliation were carried out using a pranger. 'Whipping Post' is a correct phrase for naming a similar device, but used to perform flagellation.
