Stoning to death was a common form of punishment in the Middle East for 1000s of years. Read the Bible. Leviticus orders the stoning of people for such things as disobeying your parents.
Now the guillotine, THAT was a humane death sentence. Those French Revolutionaries had something going on.

I remember when i was about 5 years old. Someone told me a story about some woman getting her head chopped off in a guillotine. And she ran around like a headless chicken for 5 minutes while her decapitated head screamed for help. I believed it. Could not sleep for a month. Kept picturing this damn head yelling at me. lol.
