An interesting observation.  Yet I can see no problem to the use of nails
with a stake.  But, oddly enough, only "John," of all the Gospels,
mentions nails (the "doubting Thomas") episode.  And the OT "They have
pierced my hands and my feet" is apparently somewhat mutilated in Hebrew
form, so that translation is not necessarily correct (in fact, it probably
is not).
