Supervisor Noah went out of the door leaving the three of us in our room. I then sat down on the couch and guided one of the two stocks out of the table and admired it.
I said, "I don't know why, but I'm kind of fascinated by these stocks. I didn't even know they existed until just now."
Zack then sat down on the armchair on the other side of the table and said, "They've actually been around since the Middle Ages and were used as a torture tool. The tortured person was fixed with the stock and then had their feet tickled or licked by goats.”
I replied "That's awesome, how do you know something like that?"
Zack said, "I'm doing some ancient European history and that's kind of what I picked up on."
I said, "That's interesting, so you fixed people with them and then you could do anything you wanted with their feet?"
Zack replied, "Exactly, you open the lock, then the other person's legs are put in the semi-circular openings and then you close it again and they are fixed." As Zack said this, he opened the extended stock.
