I usually hate it when people don't understand the question, but this is a classic.
They did, but couldn't tell anyone because the patent hadn't cleared yet.

The roman army was a bit of a stickler for going "by the book" if the proceedure was three nails then they would have used three nails. How many more do you need. Also more would have actually made the proceedings LESS of a punishment by either hastening its end (through more trauma and bleeding) and also by giving the body and "extra" resting place. Think about trying to rest all your body weight on just those three nails. Excruciating isn't it. That is why I am glad I don't have to go through it because Jesus did it all for me. That is why I thank him every day and love God so much.

Jesus would have been tied to the cross. The nails were only used to inflict pain as you couldn't support a body on the cross using nails through the hands (or wrists) and feet.

Jesus No More Nails

why would they? that's like asking: why don't they give you more fries in a small?
just...because.
often, pictures or carvings of the death of Christ is misinterpreted. nails are seen nailed through each hand and folded feet; in real life, nails were driven through the two tendons of each hand; if not, the placement of the nails simply through the hands would be unaccustomed to the weight and Jesus would have torn free, ripping his hands literally in two.

ignoring the blasphemous and the unseemly nature of your crass question I notice that the introduction contains a double negative. If you had any intelligence you would know that in English a double negative is the same as using a positive and vise versa, poor show!

Perhaps the amount and placement of the nails caused the most agony and were easiest to pound in. I think it would be harder to nail someone through the shoulder...

Not sure that would have been invented then. It wouldn't have been such torture really. The nails thing was part of the torture. No one was going to care if he got hurt when they were killing him anyway.

Ask yourself why you even thought of that question. Do you think pretending to be weird proves you know the difference? No - either way you are still mentally inadequate.

The Bible never actually specifies how many nails were used. How many do you think they used, and why do you assume it wasn't enough?

Because it only took three nails.
