Based on one list? If there's one thing the interweb teaches us there's more than one list, here's another one.

Yours doesn't have the rack by the way.

A twenty first century form of torture might be comparing web lists...

The one I find particularly horrific isn't on your list but George Orwell and Bret Easton Ellis have both used it.

If you enjoy research of this kind, you may want to check out "The Time Traveler's Guide to Medieval England" by Ian Mortimer. There is also "The Big Book of Pain: Torture & Punishment Through History" by Mark Donnelly and Daniel Diehl.

And here I was taken aback by the idea of doing this sort of research. I've been shirking my dooty.

I like the Heretic's Fork because it can be used as punishment but it visually displays how motivated a person will be to provide you the information you want with or without causing damage. You can even modify the device so that the two sets of forks can slowly be wound away from each other.
