      Good we need to start building and placing them in front of the 1% houses, and at every single capital city and state halls. Including one in front of Congress and the White House.

    grotesque but would be kings and queens need to have that fear in them

    all would be monsters need to know that you will still hear and see for long after your head is separated from your neck

    this is the punishment for the crimes against humanity

      Not to split heirs, but “long after” in this case is ~12 seconds, IIRC — which is still gruesome AF, but worth being scientifically accurate, I feel. ✊🏼

          wonder if they could still move their eyes and mouth for as long as there was oxygen left in the blood

            in the historic account, the guys eyes were clearly moving in reaction to the doctor’s voice

            one other time I remember that someone described the persons head as stuck in a scream but no sound came out

              Yes, and “12” is well within “several”, so 🤓

              Now, as far as “talking”? That requires aspiration, IIRC, and separating the larynx from the lungs kinda, ya know, stops that, pretty effectively. 😅

    A bobsled sled from the 18th century, when the sport was the extreme domain of the aristocracy.

        You know - a typical sled with a built-in finish line. Optimized so that participants don’t have to spend a lot of time descending (from political heights).

          I was just trying to sort out why “sled” followed “bobsled”. 😅
