No-one appears to have been executed on my birthday. Come the revolution, this will, of course, change.

Everyone must get an execution for their birthday. This I decree.

What about all the other people executed? Those executed in our time -- in all those backward, third-world countries -- you know, like North Korea, Iran, Afghanistan, China, ~~USA~~? This website should be retitled, "Some of the people who were executed on the current date in the (far distant) past".
