it was weird when i took a class on terrorist groups and my professor made us read an article on the thugs of india. it talked about their methods and techniques for scaring the population, and how they believed in bloodless scarifices (like strangulation). the one thing that bothered me about the article though was the fact that they were always called "thugs." i kept wanting to hear "whip the thuggee guards!" oh well, at least i learned about the real history behind them...

(who can't approximate the sounds of the guards
in the TOD arcade game from 1984, but they were funny)
