The guillotine.
Not, in fact, invented by Dr Guillotin: last used in France in the 1970s.
And, er, nothing to do with the previous post. No, indeed.
I've seen this before. The best of all guillotine facts is that the severed head could remain conscious for up to 20 seconds.
Imagine that!
Quite morbid.
i never can remember if it's pronounced GILLateen or GEEEateen.
If I had to choose a method of execution, I would choose Mdme Guillotine. It's quick, efficient, painless, and bloody messy for the poor sods who have to clear up after me.
A grenade would really leave a mess.

Creepy report.

If I had to choose a method, it would be the slowest one available.
My primary goal in life is not to die. I have been doing a very good job at this for some time now. If I am ever on life support, I have given instructions to keep the machine plugged in even if it means bankrupting the economies of all the nations of the world.
Geez louise. While reading the report in roly's link I was half expecting the head to start speaking. Shades of "Thermidor" from Neil Gaiman's Sandman.
So bernockle, your preferred method is execution by slow-acting cancer?
That used to be a good Sunday evening in medievil times I believe. EVeryone would go and watch the beheading in the public square. Jolly good fun back then. So whens Michael jackson due? (sorry I couldn't help myself)
Sidey -- saying "ghee-o-teen" labels you a pedant, "gillateen" a rube.
Your call!
"Ghee-o-teen" it is!
I used to wonder why my stepdad said I talked like a ponce.
Isn't "Ghee-o-teen" clarified butter marketed to the 13-19 set?
No, ghee o' teen would be what you'd get if you rendered down teenagers for their delicious fats, and then clarified the teeny-butter you'd get.
Mmmmmmm, teeny-butter.
