To behead, or not to behead

I've been thinking lately [everyone runs out of the room in horror] about the Guillotine days. The days were you were taken to the gallows. Here's the thing, it was started because it was said to be humane, then ended because many considered it inhumane. What irony. So here's the argument; is it humane or inhumane. The reason it was later considered subhuman was due to a sketchy argument that once decapitated, the victim remained conscious for a short period of time. Many tried to prove/disprove this theory, but all we've left are a few inaudible whispers on the pages of some old, decrepite books. One man told of a tale in which he shouted the victim's name aloud, causing the head's eyes to snap open, then slowly close. The man repeated this gesture, with the same response. For a third time he tried this tactic, but nothing happened thereafter. This could all be speculation and rumors. Who is to say if they are rumors or truths? The only thing we have to rely on are the words of men themselves. During the end of its' rein, a certain country set up the blade of impending doom with a catapault-like design; throwing the head after decapitation in order for the head to see nothing but a blur of scenery. After it was all said and done, and nothing left to go on but rumors and sworn statements that had a chance of being sound, the invention in question was considered to contriversial to be left intact in a humane system. What are your thoughts on this? Do you believe that a human head can remain conscious after removed from the rest of the body? If so, for how long? The most common guess is twenty seconds. I myself believe it to be possible, but until it is proven, I guess we will never know. Thoughts?

there is also some guro hentai around relating to the still being alive after head chopped off, though its very unlikely to have that kinda willpower to not immediately lose consciousness

I know what you're talking about.

That stuff's cool.
