Line 345:
* [[Being Human (USA)|The US version of Being Human]] has Aidan being impaled on a metal stub by a guy seeking revenge for his father. Of course being a vampire, this just pisses him off.
** {{spoiler|Bishop's staking Aidan in the second-last episode of Season 1 deserves special mention. Though it's unsuccessful, Bishop jumps ''through'' a window into the house uninvited (burning himself as a result), impaling Aidan and just missing his heart. The "extreme prejudice" part is covered for sure.}}
== Oral Tradition, Folklore, Myths and Legends ==
* In [[Buddhism|Buddhist mythology]], sinners who have committed murder, sexual crimes, theft, lying, and hearsay (as in, having committed ''all'' those crimes in life) are condemned to Ennetsu Jigoku, “The Scorching Hell”, where sinners are impaled on iron spears over an ocean of fire.
** Dainetsu Jigoku (“Great Scorching Hell”) is for those who committed all the crimes associated with Ennetsu Jigoku plus murder of a priest or nun. (Or violated a nun - it does seem Buddhist believe [[Rape Is a Special Kind of Evil]].) It's similar to Ennetsu Jigoku except the fires are 10 times hotter and sinners are also impaled on tridents rather than spears.
