Talk: Guillotine
From open-encyclopedia.com - the free encyclopedia.
I recently read that one scientist who was guillotined in the French Revolution arranged with an aide of his to determine how long he remained conscious. He told his aided to count how many times he blinked after decapitation, and aise counted 30. Unfortunately, I can't remember the source, or which scientist it was. Can anyone pin this down? -- Tarquin 10:08 Sep 11, 2002 (UTC)
The last public execution in France took place on Saturday, June 17th 1939.

Hey I'm just wondering about the Guillotine picture. The picture says copyright on it and Wikipedias policy against using copyrighted pictures appears to be violated. Armus Aran
- Good find ! This was the message from the copyright owner : "No none of my images on my site may be used on other sites. However I have attached a picture you can use. "
- Only after uploading the pic I realized that the permission granted was a single-website permission and not under terms of GFDL. I wrote the owner a mail stating that the permission I require is under GFDL, and if he is not ok with it then I'll be removing the pic. I wrote this on Feb 6 but haven't got an OK or not-OK mail from him. So I'm in quandary. Jay 06:24, 3 Mar 2004 (UTC)

I think you should mention Dr Louis in your article
Best regards,

- Yes, Benoit, we probably should. If you know more about Dr Antoine Louis, you can add him to the article yourself! - Nunh-huh 22:11, 17 Jun 2004 (UTC)
