Augh! I still say being drawn and quartered is usually done with the victim still alive (else why draw them out on the horses if they're already been quartered by sword?). I just asked on IRC EFnet channels #myth and #bungie. Weevil of #myth says you're cut open and hot metal poured into you, then you're tied to four horses and torn apart - with nothing being done to the head. Ophelan of #bungie says that the body is simply cut into various pieces depending on what the villagers are demanding, and the pieces are placed on display around the town. The fate of the head varies as much as the other body parts. Everybody in my household standing around here says it's when your limbs are tied to four horses, they're whipped, and it rips you apart. I'm about to post to alt.games.myth about the subject.
I don't trust encyclopedias, especially not ones like Encarta which define sex as "an act of love between two consenting adults", with no mention of the reproductive functions it serves (or even the non-reproductive DNA-sharing sex of bacteria).
Lets see what the results from AGM are.
(On another note, you are starting to sway me to the all-Levellers beheaded theory. The only thing that bugs me other than the definition of drawn-and-quartered - which could be overlooked since it obviously varies - is the "his body destroyed by fire" line, which is awfully vague about whether all of it or just the body sans head was burned).
