tic, are you sure you want...
... "Bacchanalian orgies"?

The Bacchantes, also called maenads, would tear men apart in the woods.

A couple of quotes from the Wikipedia article:

The word [maenad] literally translates as "raving ones". They were known as wild, insane women who could not be reasoned with.

In Euripides' play, "The Bacchae", Theban Maenads murdered King Pentheus after he banned the worship of Dionysus because the Maenads continued worshipping Dionysus.
Dionysus, Pentheus' cousin, himself lured Pentheus to the woods, where the Maenads tore him apart and his corpse was mutilated by his own mother, Agave. Culminating when she tears off his head, believing it to be that of a lion.

Frankly, if you're going to take chances like that, you might as well continue to risk yourself to the wild debates on ZDNet.
