Died in prison

They should use those stunbolt guns used on cattle.

> California thinks all the traditional methods of execution are inhumane

The most humane method would be to strap a few sticks of dynamite to the condemned's head, then detonate them. The blast wave would travel far faster than any nerve impulses, so by the time the condemned's brain could receive any pain signals it would already be destroyed. But that would be too messy.

Here's an interesting resource on capital punishment in the UK, although it has some US related material too. https://www.capitalpunishmentuk.org/

It makes a pretty good case that "long drop" hanging is the most humane way to execute a prisoner. The "hangman's fracture," which severs the spinal cord, knocks the condemned into deep unconsciousness within a fraction of a second, and the resulting cascade of neural disruption within a few seconds is so massive that there's no longer anything like a mind to feel any pain.

I'm pretty sure capital punishment is no longer used in the UK, but when it was, the British went about hangings differently than my fellow Americans do. Here in the US, the condemned is led to the gallows. The execution order is read to him. He's allowed to say some last words if he wishes. He and a priest/pastor/rabbi/whatever walk up the fabled thirteen steps. Often the religious person whispers prayers, up to the moment when the trapdoors open and the condemned drops.

In the British view, this is all horseshit. Read the execution order? He already knows what's going to happen. Let him say a few words? He's already had a trial, and the opportunity for press interviews. Climb thirteen steps? The dude's probably so scared that his legs might not have the strength to do it. Whisper prayers in his ear as the hood is placed over his head? That's no comfort, it's like saying, "you're going to die, you're going to die, you're going to die." The only thing all this crap accomplishes is to increase the chances that something will go wrong.

So, the British went about it quite differently. The night before, the condemned was installed in a cell on an upper floor of the building. If he wanted a priest, fine, let him have one. When the time came to execute him -- typically 8 AM or 9 AM -- the hangman and assistants would suddenly enter the cell. One would run over to a wall and push aside a concealment -- a bookcase, shelves, whatever -- opening a path to the gallows outside. Working together with a speed and coordination that would make an Indy 500 pit crew envious, the hangman and assistants would bind his hands, walk him out to the trap door, bind his feet, put the hood over his head and the noose in place, then pull the lever. Total time from the moment they entered the cell until the condemned hit the bottom of the rope -- about fifteen seconds.

They should leave it up to the other psychopaths in prison. Or strap him in a chair in a room and invite his victim's families to do the deed.

I think a lot of the “dates” from the dating game never actually took place. It was just an entertainment show.

I'm a believer that intuition is your subconscious recognizing a pattern that your conscious mind ignored or missed. Our modern environment is awash with sensory input that can cloud our civilized brain, but like you say, if we pay attention to our intuition it can sometimes see through the fog.
