If practice makes perfect, Crassus' army should have become quite proficient by the time they finished crucifying the remnants of the rebel army. And Spartacus had been killed in battle.
This is how I recall it : (The movie that is... I'm old but not that old!) : All the slaves, including the real Sparticus, were hung on crosses ... the "I am Sparticus" thing was so the Romans would never be sure whether or not they had actually gotten Sparticus!
Then there is the old joke about the Roman Procurator leading a column of Romans - all driving chariot - along a road lined with men hanging from crosses. The Procurator stops and calls to one ofthe soldiers and tells him, "That man hanging on the cross over there is singing. Go find out what he is singing." A few minutes later the soldier came back. Procurator : "well?" Soldier: "I Love A Parade." Last line of the joke should be sung, of course!

The Wizard of WO'N says you don't have a chance with the Paranormal Police because I am not associated with the term normal in any way, shape, or form! You'll have to call out the heavy hitters, the Paraweird Police at the very least, if you want to try to monitor the Magic of WO'N!

WHAT the blue blazes is going on here? I turn my back for two months, and you've all turned into Dominican friars and the Spanish Inquisition has been set up and is in full swing. Where's the auto-da-fe going to be held, and do I get an invite?
