#8 What a nigntmare ! These rings were intented to enslave women. installed one after one, years after years, they dislocated slowly the vertebraes. If the woman be disobedient, the husband or father remove the rings and the woman died brutally because nothing support the weight of the head.
Why do you think this is funny ?
What does it have to do on a site called izismile ?
Next time, it will be some "funny" picture of auschwitz-birkenau ?
You are real dumb@$$.

Barticus,
Hi, my apologies for doing so, but your information is incorrect. Neck vertebrae are not dislocated, because that would result in immediate debilitating nerve damage. Rather, clavicles are deformed while neck muscles atrophy and make head reliant on rings for support.
There are a few distinct cultures which practice this, so history and cultural context varies but the physiology does not.

Barticus,
The custom of wearing neck rings is related to an ideal of beauty: an elongated neck. Neck rings push the clavicle and ribs down. The neck stretching is mostly illusory: the weight of the rings twists the collarbone and eventually the upper ribs at an angle 45 degrees lower than what is natural, causing the illusion of an elongated neck. The vertebrae do not elongate, though the space between them may increase as the intervertebral discs absorb liquid.

Christiana and Hosea,
Thanks for the sharing of your research, however uncomfortable Barticus is made by the exposure of his self-righteousness.

I do enjoy these kinds of dumps. It's all interesting and weird and educational and dare I say... clean.
