[edit] Bed of nails

Shaped like a bed, has nails - seems likely to be correct OK. Dictdef!Dlyons493 Talk 20:33, 7 October 2005 (UTC)

Keep. It may be no more than a dictdef at the moment but there is much more to say. What's the history of this object? Who would use one? Not just fakirs but science demonstrators. Is it used for meditation, mortification of the flesh or just stunts? Principles which allow one to escape unharmed. Etc etc. Flapdragon 20:56, 7 October 2005 (UTC)

Keep. Plenty of context, esp. with regards to physics and weight distribution. I'm surprised we didn't have something similar already.--inks^T 20:59, 7 October 2005 (UTC)

• keep Was almost speediable as a rephrase of the title, but I agree that the bed of nails is an encyclopedic topic. I expanded it into a proper stub, and would appreciate more help expanding. — brighterorange (talk) 21:11, 7 October 2005 (UTC)
