Costeala

Costeala is a Romanian tradition that involves violent hitting of the ribs with one's fingers. It is practiced secretly in schools during the hours. It was started by a turkish man who would poke his visitors violently in the ribs. The tradition was passed on to Vogdan Beglera and Olex Anzasha from Romania, who made it popular. Today, it is practiced everywhere, from schools to offices, and Vogdan and Olex are considered the kings of costeala.

Costeala can be very painfull, such as the one implied by "Axarium Pedrianus", the great romanian fatass.

From costeala, many other types of horrid pain inducing were derived:

Cefeala, the violent hitting of the back of the head. Gateala, violent poking of the neck, which unfortunately can lead to death. Suprema, horrible costeala, involving grabbing and shifting of the internal organs. Suprema Dubla, implying two hands at the same time.

Costeala sometimes results in hitting of the fingers.

In recent years, costeala has seen increasing development. The growth is considered to be exponential, that is P = P0 * a^t.

Prof. Saliah from the ITCHSX has theorized that the growth is actually anti-isoexponential.

Accidents

Olex Anzasha, one of the original founders of the Costeala phenomenon, has been costed to death on the 84th of September 1829. He was returned to life by means of going to a medical cabinet.


NOTE: It is believed that Vlad Tepes (mostly known as Tee-lad Vepeshianorum) once used costeala, or at least a type of costeala, since it had not yet been invented.
