They used to crucify on an X, as well as on the cross. I want to say St. Peter was crucified this way, but I'm probably wrong.

If you want a really freaky Catholic body experience, The Incorruptibles is a good book for that. I think most of the cases are examples of adipocere, myself, but no one ever asks me. Italy was interesting for the sheer morbidity of it; someday, I really will scan my postcards from the bone church, I swear. Capuchin monkey pope! Pope-mobile! Speaking of which, have you read Stiff: The Secret Lives of Corpses? Now there's a book for inspiring Re-A ideas.
