The execution room in the Geisterschloss (Haunted Castle) of Europa-Park.
Geisterschloss
Geisterschloss (English: Haunted Castle) is a haunted house decorated as darkride in the German amusement park Europa-Park located in theme area Italy.
The attraction opened in 1982 under the name Spukschloss, but both the interior and exterior looked completely different. In both 1996 and 2005 the attraction has been redecorated. Today the theme of Geisterschloss is the Italian Renaissance.
Visitors enter the attraction via the central square of the theme area. At the entrance stands an animatronic of a Mythical being. Dressed in a brown robe with hood. In one hand he carries a bird and in the other a candlestick. In German, the being says that he has been living in the haunted house for years. The talking is sometimes interrupted by being coughed by the being, water being sprayed out of his mouth. After passing the creature, visitors enter a hall where they serve the waiting for the lifts where the front show will take place. A chandelier consisting of bones hangs in the hall. There are singing busts of a few centimeters in the wall. The same busts are arranged in a larger format along one of the scenes during the ride. Once in the show the visitors are addressed in German. The space turns out to be a lift. When the elevator has reached its destination, a "hanged person" falls down from a hole in the ceiling.
After the show the visitors walk via a staircase to a turntable where one can take place in one of the doombuggies. Visitors are guided through the castle during the ride. However, there is no story in the scenes. This way you pass the dining room, dance hall, garden and execution room.

Commander's log, date 05.03.2735:
My execution came and went. I had been 'cuffed again, and a hood had been put over my head. I was ready to die. I figured I could at least die with the satisfactory knowledge that I hadn't given away any DDF secrets. But then I heard some screams. They were the screams of the guards, as Jim was decapitating them. He rescued me, and I was quite astounded to see him. After all, I had believed him to be dead. But he explained the situation to me. He had actually come across a DM underwater patrol in the pond. It was the DM underwater patrol's blood I had seen, not Jim's. But he had gotten caught on a rock down there, so it was a while before he surfaced. He found a lone DM soldier and killed him to get weapons. Then he gathered intel and found me. And what a relief that was! Now, Jim and I shall return to base to resume our normal activities.
Jeremy Croup, Commander of the DDF, signing out.

Unlike Coulter, even supporters of capital punishment believe it should be done in a humane way and are aghast at hearing of this botched execution torturing the convict. Coulter’s inhumane response reminds us of why we should Never Trust Ann Coulter - at ANY Age, a new book available at www.coulterwatch.com/never.pdf.
Coulter commends executing teenagers who kill!:
“I enthusiastically embrace the death penalty [in the context of 14-year-old murderers].” – Ann Coulter, 4/10/97.
Coulter is OK with innocent people being executed if they’re guilty of other crimes:
“Sometimes people are innocent of the crime they were sentenced to death for, but perhaps not all crimes.” – Ann Coulter, 11/9/96.
Wants to kill people:
“I think that every day when I take the New York City subway. … I would like to kill all of them. I can analyze that and stop myself from killing people on a New York City street.” – Ann Coulter, 7/11/00

I don't think this is my taste in decorating but I'm sure it could be practical. For instance: if you're into murders and executions - sorry, mergers and acquisitions - this may be just right. With so much red, blood stains are virtually invisible. Of course, that wooden floor is an entirely different story...
'Gentle visitor pause awhile : where you stand death cut away the light of many days : here jewelled names were broken from the vivid thread of life : may they rest in peace while we walk the generations around their strife and courage : under there restless skies’
A memorial stands on the actual execution site where famous people lost their heads. Queen Anne Boleyn, Lady Jane Grey (who was only 16), Queen Catherine Howard (another unfortunate wife of Henry VIII), and Margaret Pole, a noblewoman who had royal blood.
Anne was beheaded by a French swordsman, as she knew axe beheadings were sometimes messy. Margaret Pole wasn't so lucky; the 60 something year old was hacked when the axeman didn't chop her head off in one swing. Some say she ran around bleeding to death while the axeman chased after her (a popular myth, but probably untrue). She did die horribly though and it took more than one swing to kill her.
Now this poignant and sad memorial rests in place. This is fairly recent. The beefeater said they had an older and less plain memorial before. You can find the memorial on Tower Green, just right outside the Tudor-style houses and St Peter Ad Vincula Chapel (where the beheaded were laid to rest).

This is a picture of Auschwitz Birkenau. Also known as Auschwitz two. This was the camp designed as final sollution for the jews. This camp is specially designed for the extermination of the jews.
Here you see the track where thousands of people arrived. The drove to the left, the SS-ers and jewish special assigned people asked them to leave their lugage which 'would' be stored for them. After that they would be seperated, men one side, women the other. SS staff selected those capable for work. Those not capable for work were mostly executed the same day.
I've started watching Game of Thrones. In the first episode the line "The man who passes the sentence should swing the sword." stuck with me a bit. Seems pretty honorable, anyway I'm stoked to see where this show goes. I heard the books were good.

Thomas Fiennes, 9th Baron Dacre (c. 1515-1541) was an English aristocrat notable for his conviction and execution for murder.
Dacre was the son of Sir Thomas Fiennes and Jane Sutton daughter of Edward Sutton, 2nd Baron Dudley. When his father died in 1528 he became heir apparent to his grandfather's title and the family seat at Herstmonceux Castle in Sussex, and he succeeded to the title at the age of approximately 19 in 1533. In 1536 he married Mary Nevill, daughter of George Nevill, 5th Baron Bergavenny.
He was a member of the jury at the trial of Anne Boleyn in 1536, and of Thomas, Lord Darcy, and John, Lord Hussey in May 1537 (for their part in the Pilgrimage of Grace), and of Baron Montagu and the Marquess of Exeter in 1538 for the Exeter Conspiracy.

On 30 April 1541 Dacre led a party of gentlemen including his brother-in-law John Mantell, John Frowds, George Roidon, Thomas Isleie, and two yeomen Richard Middleton and John Goldwell, to poach on the lands of Sir Nicholas Pelham of Laughton. During the escapade they encountered John Busbrig (or Busbridge), James Busbrig, and Richard Summer who were servants of Pelham. The encounter turned into an affray during which John Busbrig was fatally wounded. Dacre and several others were charged with murder and arraigned before the Lord High Steward, Lord Audley of Walden on 27 June. Dacre originally entered a plea of not guilty but was later persuaded to change it to guilty and throw himself upon the King's mercy in the hope of a reprieve. Unlike many of his contemporaries he was not executed by beheading but was hanged at Tyburn on 29 June 1541. An account of the execution in Hall's Chronicle says:-
he was led on foot between the two sheriffs of London from the Tower through the city to Tyburn where he was strangled as common murderers are and his body buried in the church of St Sepulchre ; Hall's Chronicle, 842.
Mantell, Frowds and Roidon were also executed for the crime.
Dacre's family were stripped of their lands and title, but the title was restored to his second son Gregory in 1558 (the elder son Thomas died before the restitution aged 15).

A Canadian Iranian software engineer is facing imminent execution in Tehran for allegedly operating a pornography website after the Iranian Supreme Court rejected a final appeal from his lawyers.
Saeed Malekpour, 35, says he was tortured into making a confession about the website on live TV and Iranian officials used the broadcast to give him the death sentence.
The software engineer's family says the web software was only designed for uploading and sharing photos and that adult sites used it without is knowledge.
Human rights campaigners believe the hardline Islamist regime wants to use Malekpour as an example as it cracks down on Internet freedom ahead of elections.

By kind permission of the Royal Parks Department, the King’s Army Annual March and Parade will again follow the route taken by Charles I from St James Palace on the Mall to the place of his untimely death at the Banqueting House in Whitehall, London. This event is an established part of the London calendar and has followed a similar format now for forty years. The parade assembles from 11am outside St James Palace on The Mall and marches to form up on Horse Guards Parade, a considerable privilege for an organisation such as ourselves, from where a wreath is carried across Whitehall and placed at the execution site. A short service follows and awards and commissions are conferred on deserving members of the King’s Army.
Not only was Heinz Petry mere 16 year old when executed, his execution took place on June 11, 1945 -long after World War II hostilities in Europe ended.
There were actually three boys, two of them students of AHS.(Adolf Hitler School) Of the latter one who was arrested by the Americans, could escape. The other two were convicted and executed on 01.06.1945. That was the Adolf Hitler students Heinz Petry and the Hitler Youth Josef Schöner (not Schener). In the court's opinion of the U.S. military the accusation of spying served only as a pretext for the Chairman of the Military Court who emphasized in the court's opinion "that the responsibility for the fate of the two boys lies with the Nazi leaders, and they only, will send send them to their deaths. The German military and political leaders force us", said the chairman,"to fight fire with fire and blood with blood. We will not tolerate those responsible to hide behind women and children". Unless the presiding judge considered this a "deterrent sentence", he unjustly sentenced the sixteen and seventeen year-old boys whose guilt as so called spies did not justify the death penalty.
