I'd advise against crucifixion. It takes forever and you have to hang there while your mother says again and again, "I told you not to bad mouth the Roman Soldiers."
Habnged or garotted, pissing, shitting and tenting your perfwectly-fitting briefs before you have your final orgasm in them, then someone pulls your briefs down to expose you naked, soiled, and erect.
best way to execute a condemned prisoner, make him watch every method of execution used while watching his response to see what he fears the most, then execute him using the most terrifying method for him. for myself, would prefer a quick death.
Take the hood off #1. I note there are no pictures of hanging (the strangling picture is not a true hanging) or garroting, both of which ought to be here. What about gas or electricity? My own preference would be to be hanged (short drop) or firing squad without a hood in either case. During the first world war a number of the soldiers chose not to take a blindfold or hood when they were being executed by firing squad and I admire them.
