According to wikipedia, the drowning cell was a myth. "There is a persistent myth that the Rasphuis contained a "water dungeon," the so-called Waterhuis.[1] If prisoners refused to work they were placed in a cellar that quickly filled with water after a sluice was opened; they were handed a pump that enabled them to keep from drowning, provided they pumped energetically and continuously. Geert Mak and other historians, however, point out that there is no evidence whatsoever for the existence of this room and this punishment.[2]"
" Worst, the prison had one measure held in reserve for idlers who could not be induced to work by deprivation of meat rations, by whipping with a bull’s penis, or other measures. This was the ‘water house’ or ‘drowning cell,’ where prisoners were tethered like asses and forced to pump out the constantly rising water lest they drown in it. It was up to them whether they wanted to work. One visiting economist congratulated the Dutch on ‘so admirable a contrivance.’ Peculiarly appropriate to the Dutch: a kind of moral geography. The punishment was a microcosm of the Dutch experience: ‘the struggle to survive rising waters.’ "
14:32 "critical thinking skills off a turtle" :P i didnt even hear what it was about earlier and you never mention it again xD either way a LOT off what people say isnt fact, some leans against it, some are just for a good story and some are for other things; its rare to get told a boring fully truthfull no emotion story from someone ^^ at least i think thats the jest

"come on Moses, make 'em split apart"
Surely, try to split current neutral salt water with magnets, Harstem.
I have heard of something similar that US special forces use as a training exercise. As a form of punishment that sounds pretty bizarre.
