poppy

An annual plant, of Eurasian origin, which produces a narcotic drug called opium (typically extracted from immature seed capsules), from which secondary drugs such as heroin and morphine are synthesized. The amount of opium extracted depends on the species/variety of poppy.

Ever wonder why poppy-seed pastries are fairly popular?

The southeast Asians and the Arabs perfected the art of opium poppy growing through thousands of years of cultivation.

iron maiden

A torture/execution device from Medieval Germany, which consists of an iron coffin lined with spikes on the inside of the doors. The doors were closed SLOWLY so that the accused criminal would suffer maximum pain and anguish, sometimes for days, before finally dying of the resulting puncture wounds and suffocation.

Legend has it that a German coin counterfeiter was sentenced to the Iron Maiden. For the last two days of his life, the forger cried in vain while the spikes went through his body.

riot

One way to steal what you need without needing to worry about getting caught, since the police are usually too busy beating up the rioters to care.

I got this flatscreen TV, stereo bass system, state-of-the-art computer, and 7-piece furniture set. All from last night's football riot.
