Yes, yes, the drawing and quartering is a technicality... ; )
Anyone who's read A Tale of Two Cities ought to know aaaalll about drawing and quartering. Really it's the drawing that's the gruesome part ... by the time that's done you probably wouldn't notice the quartering.
Yay capital punishment. You know, it's knowledge of history like this that puts 'cruel and unusual punishment' clause in the Constitution into a proper perspective.
