First, the key word was "virtually." The only person talking about actual physical harm to anything or anyone was eiffel.

Second, no, I was referring to hanged, drawn and quartered. No drowning involved. And by drawn I was referring to #3, not #1:

Disembowelled and emasculated and the genitalia and entrails burned before the condemned's eyes
Or did you already know this and you just wanted to see me use the word "hanged?"
