Wow, I bet the Norwegians are sad they don’t have a death penalty, or even a life sentence.

Their ancestors, the Vikings, would take a man like that, cut a hole in his abdomen, withdraw a section of small intestine, and nail it to a tree...then stick spears in his butt to force him to walk around and around the tree as they ran out of his body and wound around the trunk, until he had no more guts to spool out. After he died, his body would be hung in the tree for the ravens, birds sacred to Odin.

It’s where the saying “coming to the end of your rope” comes from.
