My husband and I thought the number of scourgings in "The Passion" was excessive and not Biblical so we looked up 'Roman scourge' online and I posted a site about them on here somewhere. (We thought they were limited to 39 stripes, but Mel was right. There was no limit for Roman soldiers.)
Anyway, later I went back and checked the site and turns out they have a lot of info about scourging, and sell scourges, and they also sell stuffed lambs and peacocks and other weird stuff.
Maybe it's the same folks.
Sorry if anyone went to the site and got grossed out.
