I also read about a ruler( i believe it was somewhere in India) that he had a brother crushed to death in a giant pestle and mortar so no blood touched the earth.
Ohh man... That has got to be one of the most humiliating deaths!!! It is funny yet so horrible. Well done Cromwell, you found the magic line between perverse and humiliating. Man I have to sit and hold my mouth not to laugh at it, and it is horrible to feel like that.
Yuck!
