Another interesting factoid is that some foks now belive that since the brain can live for several minutes without oxygen that it is qutie possible that the last thing the decapitated person saw would be blood spruting out of their neck.  NO way to know for sure but I found it plausible and interesting.

It was also common practice to tip the executioner to try to ensure a good clean swing when using an axe for the beheading.
