When public executions were outlawed in Britain in 1868, hangmen looked for a less performance-oriented approach.

And I thought I was cynical.

Very interesting link, though I suppose there are more ways to die. Gun shots (other than those that result in bleeding to death), starvation, thirst, or my all time favourite: freezing to death (which, if I get any choice in the matter, will be mine).
Thank you for linking.

Honestly, I'm ok with this list not being more exhaustive. :) And you're very welcome.

Well... however macabre, it was very interesting.

And educational!

Alas, yes. Still, I'm glad you found it useful.

Yikes! No really good way to go, is there?

Thanks for the link - it was very interesting!

Quietly in bed surrounded by loved ones, maybe. :) You're welcome.
