Depends on the size of the needles and the enthusiasm used when stabbing with them.

But seriously when you think about those slender, long, flexible, stainless steel needles  the technology to make them didn't even exist until about 400 years ago. So it seems that  acupuncture isn't that ancient after all. I wouldn't be surprised that it's Chinese as much as Fortune Cookie is Chinese.
teachings of the Bible are so muddled and self-contradictory that it was possible for Christians to happily burn heretics alive for five long centuries. It was even possible for the most venerated patriarchs of the Church, like St. Augustine and St. Thomas Aquinas, to conclude that heretics should be tortured (Augustine) or killed outright (Aquinas). Martin Luther and John Calvin advocated the wholesale murder of heretics, apostates, Jews, and witches. - Sam Harris, "Letter To A Christian Nation"
