guillotine

Few weeks back i was watching the pop culture version of the life story of Marie Antoinette which was directed by Sofia Coppola which stars Kirsten Dunst. Sadly Marie Antoinette and her husband king Louis XVI were executed by a guillotine. such a morbid way to die! So thankful i was not born during the time that this was a hype and a lot of people died! During old times Joseph Guillotin has thought of more humane ways to excute criminals or people who are guilty of a crime instead of being mutilated, burned, drowned or hanged this was the very humane way that he could think of....

what is a guillotine? please check out the following links:
