6. I remember reading a coffee table book...

About all the creative ways governments and the church dispatched people. The Guillotine? When there are so many more entertaining ways to send those people on their way? Bah. Maher is a lightweight. ;-)

7. Drawing and Quartering

Why think so small? Wikipedia describes "drawing and quartering" thus:

Until 1814, the full punishment for the crime of treason was to be hanged, drawn and quartered in that the condemned prisoner would be:

Dragged on a hurdle (a wooden frame) to the place of execution. (This is one possible meaning of drawn.)
Hanged by the neck for a short time or until almost dead. (hanged).
Disembowelled and emasculated and the genitalia and entrails burned before the condemned's eyes (This is another meaning of drawn. It is often used in cookbooks to denote the disembowelment of chicken or rabbit carcasses before cooking).<2>
Beheaded and the body divided into four parts (quartered).
Typically, the resulting five parts (i.e. the four quarters of the body and the head) were gibbeted (put on public display) in different parts of the city, town, or, in famous cases, country, to deter would-be traitors who hadn't seen the execution. After 1814 the convict would be hanged until dead and the mutilation would be performed after death. Gibbeting was abolished in England in 1843. Drawing and quartering was abolished in 1870.

One can only dream . . . .

9. Vote GUILLOTINE.

Bill Maher's comments only serve to affirm that GUILLOTINE has its blade on the pulse of the American people.
