Weird Asian Ritual

Not sure what this guy is torturing himself for, but it looks pretty painful and dangerous.
On the other hand this is child’s play compared to brutal rituals like the ones performed at the Phuket Festival or The Penitencia, in the Philippines, where people really hurt themselves in the name of religion. It would be nice to know why this guy is rolling around on thornes like this, but I’m pretty sure this is related to religion too.
The Number 23 (Chinese Version)

Remember Jim Carey writing all kinds of mambo-jambo all over the walls of his house, in The Number 23? If you do, this is going to look familiar.
Sure, unless you know Chinese, those symbols make absolutely no sense, but I’m pretty sure this is, or was the house of a very disturbed individual, with a lot of stuff on his mind. Either that or paper is really expensive in China.
