What Impalement Means

Okay, I learned this today in Mr. Parker's class: what the definitinon of impalement really means. As I, he, (and I bet you too) believed that to impale was to take any old sharp object and put it through ya. Impalement actually means to take a long spear and insert it into the "exit" and push it in deeper and deeper until it comes out the "entrance." This became famous with Vlad Dracula who would actually blunt the spear so that they wouldn't bleed to death live through it for days. Holy snap...

All it needs is rusty machinery, gruesome contortions, and someone everyone screaming, and it would be Saw worthy.
