Well, it certainly seemed to me that the whole guillotine thing had tongue
planted firmly in cheek. I mean, one just doesn't read copious stories of
windmill-based decapitations. Somehow, the vision of people running
panicked through the streets in a manner normally reserved for attacks by
Godzilla over the dangers of windmills just cracks me up. Maybe it's just
me...
