[edit] Citiation
We need a citation for the claim of ancient Romans coating the sole of a foot with salt water and a goat licking the soles of the feet. --Ottokarf
The last form of tickle torture is the deadly kind. You can't eat, sleep, or drink while laughing, so if someone were to strap you down and tickle you for days on end, you would almost certainly die.
If you were strapped down for days on end you would die anyway.-Agent_Koopa 19:13, 17 July 2006 (UTC)
- But not as quickly as if you had been deprived of sleep, food or drink. -86.134.52.28
It seems to have been changed to "The last form of tickle torture is the deadly kind. One purported example of this torture was used in Ancient Rome, where a person’s feet are dipped in a salt solution, and a goat is brought in to lick the solution off." this doesnt imply it being deadly.

[edit] Torture began with tickling
I have no doubt that tickling is a form of torture. I have heard that tickling was the oridgenal meaning of the word torture and/or the oridgenal form of torture. The same television programme claimed that it came from ancient Macedonia. Other meanings of the word torture all seem to have someting in common with tickling. There are other methods of torture that cause pain only through lactic acid not just tickling. I doubt that pain is an essential element of torture.
P.S. Macedonia is not in China.
So you'll be citing your sources as "some TV program i saw".
