I believe there was this one method of execution where they had you spread eagle but upside down tied between two poles. Then they preceeded to cut you in half with a saw starting at the crotch and going downwards toward your head. Supposedly the poor victim would stay alive until the saw got to the heart. Now think about how that would feel haha it makes me cringe just thinking about it. This was way back in the dark ages or whatever. Haha if this is how people got executed nowadays i bet crime rates would drop quite a bit!
