I always wondered in that show if they cloned people like George Washington, just to cut his head off and put it in a jar. And if so what did they do with their bodies? Feed it to the dogs? Give it over to the necrophiles? Make it into delicious Soylent Green? I wanna know!

All they grew was a head.  Just like how they'll just grow a liver for IDE.

I like to think my healthy diet and excercise cancels out my drunken debauchery.  

The guillotine would usually at least break the neck and kill you even if it didn't take your head off right? Or were some people still alive with it wedged in their neck screaming in agony as they raised it up for another chop?

This living head thing can only be answered by quickly grabbing my freshly decapitated head and having that superbly large assed guerrera chick blow air into my severed neck.  Then if the head says something like  "I did it for the lulz!" we'll know it's alive.

I wouldn't think that the fact that people react differently to drugs would have to be documented, Faye.  Again, it seems that you have been underestimated.  I apologize.

It should suffice to say that lethal injection, like other forms of punishment, will work flawlessly more than 99% of the time, and most of the less than 1% would have been preventable had the executioners paid sufficient attention.

As for the guillotine not working, it's been said that the head remains conscious for a few seconds before death takes place.  Unconsciousness is a desireable aftereffect, but that's more a function of the impact (such as that from a long drop hanging or more hands-on beheading, as with the hacking of a sword or axe) than the breaking of the neck.  While painless, the moments following a guillotining could be very traumatic.

Still beats the hacking beheading that preceded it, and it's certainly better than the sawing-style beheading that Nick Berg suffered.

Extra credit question: how do you pronounce "guillotine"?  Do you say it with the "L" sound (Germanic) or the "Y" sound (Latin)?

Webster's actually has both, in addition to gee-uh-teen.


I went around looking for a guillotine website, and found this on the second page of http://www.metaphor.dk/guillotine/

I'd say the Latin Y since it was named after the French Doctor Joseph-Ignace Guillotin, and French is one of the romantic languages derived from Latin. Just a guess though.

The flying guillotines scared the shit out of me when I was a little kid.

Yes!

For some reason that wigged me out.  The deal was that you had a disc on a chain.  The disc was serrated on the edges but that has nothing to do with the attack as you don't throw that into people (maybe they did but that wasn't the purpose of the weapon).  The ninja would throw the disc out and yank the chain so that the disc stopped spinning right above your head.  Then the disc would split and drop down...actually let me see if I can find it on youtube...

here it is


But I don't think that master movie is what scared me I saw something else where the same weapon was being used by multiple ninjas not just one old guy.  Though after watching that preview I'm definitely downloading that movie.

Was that the thing Kamal Khan's assassin tried to kill James Bond with while he was banging out the Octopussy?  I think he got his Indian buddy while he was fishing.

I personally use the "gee-ya-teen" pronunciation, dating back to high school French.

Also at this time I wish to express my displeasure at black people thinking that hanging or a noose is a sign of racism.  People have been hung for over 2500 years and suddenly they think that they've cornered the market on this and it's a personal affront to their people.  I vaguely remember having to do a skit or something for class and the black girl didn't want to re-enact a hanging (even though the skit called for it because whatever we were re-enacting included someone dying by hanging, but it was like in europe IIRC).  So we ended up doing something different.  They need to realize theres a great big world of execution out there and there role in it is highly insignificant.

It's true with all 'Races', which is nothing more than an illusion thought up by ignorant people who decided to take opinions over fact. The cornering of slavery, torture, harassment, and execution seems to be a common fact in the modern era.

Let us not forget that Slavery has existed since the modern era, and the only reason American Slavery affects most people today is because the slaves had no home to return to and it was the last great incident of it. In reality Slaves were of equal standing as Chinese Railroad Workers and Northern European Industrial workers in both social standing and economic possession and forecast, but the true people who got fucked over is the Native American population. In no other culture had there been a group of societies more clusterfucked not by white men with guns, but sailors with new diseases from Europe, Africa and Asia.

Then there is torture, harassment, and exectuion; which again I point to native cultures in the Americas, enemies of China and Japan, enemies of the Muslim conquests, and victims of Christian expansion and inquisitions.

It's not black vs. white, that is just an illusion. It's the ignorant versus the passive. Passivity can either be achieved through technological or a biological inferiority. I read a very interesting book called something like "Guns, Steel, and Disease: The reason Europeans dominated the Imperial Era" in which the author outlines how much Europe benefitted from it's relatively mild climate and terrain which allowed more people from more ethnic groups to consolidate and war, which always fuels technology to new levels. Not to mention the contact it had with domestic farm animals which in turn gave them diseases not found elsewhere which were the real weapons of conquest.

Ah, c'est la vie.

Hey, I think Merla's read that book.


EDIT:  She has and she says it's "Guns, Steel, and Germs".  Was that the same book that talked about how Christopher Columbus was actually an ancestor of Doug?  I'd ask her but I don't feel like calling her back.

"'C'est la vie,' say the old folks; goes to show you never can tell."

Slavery is not about passivity of any kind.  Being enslaved has historically required subjugation as an aftereffect of conflict, with the victors including among their spoils people to contribute to the slave trade.  While there are also numerous slaves who were sold into that status by their parents for the dough, slavery as spoils is the main cause historically.

I'd have to look it up, but I was reading somewhere earlier this week that slavery is not only still going strong but that there are more slaves now than at any other time in human history.  Part of that said that UN workers in Sudan reported finding clear evidence of slavery, despite its banning there.


P.S. Octopussy was one of the more enjoyable Bond movies.  Between dissing that and Moonraker elsewhere, Rama's further opinions of Bond films are hereby invalidated.

Slavery is about passivity, and subjudgation. After the subjudgation, the active becomes passive. Much like in the South, the only reason that the whites ruled was because of the passivity of the african slaves, who were only there because the whites who were sent there as basically slaves originally died in droves and the original natives did the same.

Plus, Claves in the Yucatan, agricultural slaves in South East Asia, and Chocolate slaves in West Africa still exist.

I could never ask for nothing better than this;
It's just tequila and the beach, it's quite salty when we kiss.

Talking about chocolate.... yesterday I ate HALF A POUND of almond milk-chocolate clusters. HALF A POUND. I could literally feel the saturated fat adhering itself to my hips. Disgusting. Never again. Fuck the amish market and its delicious chocolates.
