I've heard this as well!

Was just going to post: what happens to the point of impact, say after 24 hours? 7 days? one month? (continuous dripping)

If one drop of water at a time hits you in the skull, at 5 mph, and it eventually will drill a hole through your skull, then 1,000,000,000 drops of water at once, at 30mph, with a little bit of sand mixed in, should kill every surfer on his first wipeout. Also, you can probably last 5-10 minutes before being sprayed with a garden hose will kill you. And seeing as wood is softer than bone, a few good days of rain should dissolve any dead trees or anything laying on the ground in a forest.

Not entirely sure but I think it's that you are attached to an incline with your hands and legs and basically your entire body strapped down. Then, one single drop of water is placed on your forehead and, at the right incline, it will slowly drip down your face and you will not be able to remove it.
Repeat as necessary.

You're right.
It's a very effective tool to torture people. After an hour or two, the dripping becomes painful both mentally and physically.



Yeap, I've heard this as well.... but either way Chinese people crazy WOW they're going to take over the world
