: Ow.. what a horrible way to die.

It was only part of the "hanging, drawing and quartering" punishment they used to love in Merry Old England. You hung the person until they *almost* suffocated; then you drew out their intestines, showed them to the person and roasted them over a fire while still attached; finally you cut them in pieces if they were still alive.

There were executions that were probably more painful, but that stands out for its sheer elaborateness.
