While impaling people or crucifying them or even laying them on a torture rack was pretty common in history, there have been other methods that are so screwed up that simply reading about them might make you shudder. No, seriously, if you’re easily rattled, reading further might not be the best idea.

Life as a Court Jester: Jovial Entertainer or Risky Maverick
In the 10th century, the daring jester Jing Xinmo found himself in a perilous situation after a playful encounter with a dog led to a teasing remark directed at the Chinese emperor's children. The emperor, taking offense, trained an arrow on Jing, ready to deliver a harsh punishment. However, instead of begging for his life, Jing fearlessly cracked yet another joke. Fortunately, this witty pun hit its mark, and the emperor's arrow missed. The existence of jesters, contrary to popular belief, extended beyond medieval Europe and thrived in various times and cultures. The earliest reliably recorded jester, You Shi, emerged in 7th century BCE China and declared that his jesting words could not give offense, a privilege central to the jester's role, though occasionally breached. Jesters held unique relationships with power, as they were both objects of mockery and cherished entertainers and confidants. Becoming a jester involved diverse paths, including appointments due to physical or neurological differences, selection from the pool of entertainers, or recruitment by a traveling courtier. An example of the latter occurred in the 1530s when a royal servant wrote to King Henry VIII's chief minister, recommending a young boy as a replacement for the aging jester Sexten, assuring that he would be far more pleasant than his predecessor.
