But I could be wrong. I have a hard time believing I'm not a brain in a jar let alone that Jesus was the son of an all powerful compassionate being.

An alternative to spiking the wrists would be to tie the wrists to the crossbeam -- so that the weight is borne by the ropes and the wrist joint -- and then driving a nail through the hand for purposes of symbolism and torture.

I, of course, then had to go look it up in Wikipedia. If I have nightmares I'm blaming you two. It’s one thing to be a pedant, it’s an entirely different thing to be a gross pedant.
