Just bought a great book from the metro centre. Executions, "A guide to the ultimate penalty". It has all the different ways of execution from the past. Fantastic read, some great ideas that i think they should think about bringing back. I haven't gotten very far yet but up to now my favorite is "Broken on the wheel". They would tie the prisoners onto a large wheel with their arms and legs hanging over the sides, the executioner would then begin to smash thier bones to splinters with a large heavy hammer until death. If they were lucky they would be given a certain number of hits and if they were still alive the executioner would strangle them to put them out of thier misery. Ouch!!
