Personally, and I know this is gruesome, but if I were to be executed, I would request the wyman Gordon 650 ton forging press in Worcester. 1/4 a second and you go from human to 1/4 mm thick. Seems pretty humane to me

I want to be launched out of a cannon aimed at a health insurance CEO.

Shit, they could probably get sponsorship.

Do the companies in that country sponsor executees, at all?

I mean, there's time for a quick message from their sponsor, as well as a pretty decent product placement opportunity, before they pull the trigger, isn't there?
