"We could make a religion out of this"

With Sandrapierre doing her things, I wonder when will Kronapoleon enter the scene and usurp the republic?
Well whatever may come, chibi-rasputin Mitsuba will have her fun.

I think I mentioned this before,or somewhere else,but beheading isn't instant death.

If the shock didn't instantly knock the victim out,they would be in extreme confusion before the lack of oxygenated blood knocked them out cold in quite a few seconds,sometimes minutes,which was even a spectacle in some place,the executioner holding the head to the crowd so they could see the last look on the victims' face.

Most certainly not a "humane" killing,something which the original supporter of humane excutions,Joseph-Ignace Guillotin(Antoine Louis is the inventor[called "louisette" before the popular support])later found out to his horror,and attempted afterwards to abolish the death penalty.

Considering the last person to ever loose their head in France was Hamida Djandoubi on the 10th of September,1977(the original screening of "Star Wars" was on the 25th of May,1977),Joseph failed during his era(France abolished the death penalty in 1981,which also the year the original "Star Wars" was renamed to "Star Wars : Episode IV - A New Hope").

Feels like we're drawing close to the end now. Will have to reread this once it's complete because I have forgotten a lot of faces

While there was a goal of making it painless, a big part of the issue is that prior to the guillotine beheading was somewhat imprecise. You could have an axe twist, slip, or miss and only partially behead someone. The guillotine made the process consistent. It didn't even matter if the blade was sharp or not, as the weight and drop distance made it so it could crush through almost as fast when dull.

The real problem is that they wanted something that looked fancy and humane. When if you want to kill someone painlessly with the technology of the time, putting a gun to the base of their skull would have been far more effective. It would however have been quite gruesome, and even if they didn't realize it, they were trying to make something humane for the audience, and executor rather than the condemned.
