So are we all agreed that sawing....

Again, not how your body works, it would take a very, very long time for the water in your body to turn to steam, to do an experiment of this, soak a cloth in relatively warm water, then surround that towel in a *NON BURNABLE/FIREPROOF* fabric or similar, and make a flame, not large obviously and somehow suspend it above said flame closely, then time how long until the towel in the middle is dry, no idea how you'd know but meh. Result? Takes ages - relatively.

Fireproof material doesn't conduct heat as well as metal. Inside an enclosed brass container, I think the air would heat up and become extremely hot in a matter of minutes. Ever been in a sauna? Imagine that general temperature times three and imagine sitting on the coals themselves. Only speculation though.

I wasn't talking about the material being the bull but your tissue/fat etc. I was talking about how your body water wouldn't turn to steam quickly, seems I always need to explain to you.

It doesn't really matter if you're dead.

EDIT: Btw, where do you get off being so condescending? Can I not make a relevant addendum to your post without you getting defensive about it?

That wasn't condescending, and nor was I defensive. You got something wrong, I corrected you, adding that I always needed to explain to you as that always seems to be the case. You don't even understand what condescending is, here let me explain it for you:

Condescending is where you act like someone is of a lesser or inferior intelligence to you, understand now? That was not what I was doing.

See, THAT was being condescending.

But consider the irony of explaining what "condescending" means to someone in a condescending manner in defense to being accused of being condescending. This is an internet forum which is prone to misinterpretation, true, but you cannot blame me for interpreting "seems I always have to explain to you" as condescending, because it implies that a) this is a regular thing (one other incident, controversial at best) and b) that you are right.

Have either of us been tortured by means of a brass bull? No, so there is only speculation. If you really believe you are right and that I am wrong and want to prove it, provide evidence. If you don't want to (I wouldn't even respond), be content with pooling our observations on the topic. Besides, no part of my post was debunking your theory. I was just saying even if the person inside wouldn't be dehydrated he would suffocate because the air inside a hot enclosed object like that would be unbreathable.
