Not the worst way to die, perhaps all told among the most humane, mental anguish aside.
But I'd heard an apocryphal tale, MoF might have been a passage in a work of fiction because who could know for certain, that if you are guillotined, your brain works just long enough after to register the images of your head falling of your body, and if the executioner is swift enough, to view the crowd as he lifts your head aloft.
More 'oooh, ghastly' than scientific, but it has stuck with me, even if the source material hasn't.
