    A pigeon racing story-
    Growing up in the plains of southern idaho my father of 45 dragged our family into the crazy life of pigeon racing. My father had found a enthusiast friend known as Mr.King. Whenever Mr.King was around though my dad would disappear with him down to Arizona with his birds and a collective few others and they would all place bets on whose bird would be the first to roost back home. It eventually turned into a pigeon gambling ring and my dad stopped the ring when a disgruntled man threatened to kill someone over a thousand dollar loss.

    which is why for years the cards that were prevalent in the show were unplayably bad in real life, because the things they made up in the show either couldn’t be realistically translated into the game or were so incredibly specific conditions, that they would never happen naturally.
    It wasn’t until the third version of the show, when they started to make the show, along side the cards with actual game designers on the writing team. There still was much none sense that couldn’t be translated into real life but still.

    18:00 Caught a mouse in my house using a glue trap. Poor guy was suffering, stuck in the glue. I drove him out to a field. The internet said to use canola oil to free the mouse. So there I am, parked on the side of a road, mouse stuck in a glue trap, and I’m just dousing him with oil. Get one leg, free, gotta work on the other three. Just kept adding more oil. Poor mouse was soaking wet with cooking oil by the time I got his last leg free.
    He quickly scampered off to a nearby bush, but not before a hawk swooped down and grabbed him! That hawk must have been watching me trying to free the mouse for 10 minutes. But the funniest part was, the mouse was so oily that he slipped right out of the hawk’s talons about 15 feet in the air - hit the ground, and then made it under the bush in a mad scramble. It was the wildest thing I’ve seen!

    So, if you died by guillotine, then your blood pressure drops to 0 when you're decapitated, meaning that you lose consciousness immediately. You'd have some brain activity for about 30 seconds after, but you wouldn't just be a head on the ground looking around in pain. You would be asleep and totally unaware until you passed. The brain activity would basically be your brain trying to perform your core life functions and failing.

It's a bigger hobby than people realize and the birds are insane. They get dropped off 1000 miles away from home and they navigate home in only like 10 hours.

Once they're back, depending on the type of time recording device you're using, we used an old style one where you have to catch the pigeon once they land and take the band and put it in this capsule and put it in this machine that stores and records the time.

    When you brought up the guillotine not instantly killing people, it reminded me of a funny if sad story. During the French Revolution there was a pretty infamous woman named Charlotte Corday who assassinated an important revolutionary figure named Marat, got arrested and was executed for it. After her head was cut off, the story goes that a carpenter was so angry at Corday for killing Marat that he grabbed her head and began slapping it. But to his and the crowd's horror, Corday's face, despite her head being fully severed, began to look angry. Given what we now know about how long you can "live" after the decapitation, it seems likely that Corday actually experienced those slaps and did genuinely become angry at him before she finally died.
    The dude was arrested right after though, as the Executioner, a guy named Sanson, was furious at him for disrespecting the dead. He thought that everyone, regardless of how cruel and twisted they may have been in life, should at least have their dead body be given respect as they paid for their deeds in the most extreme way possible. So he used his position as the official Executioner to make the guards arrest the man on the spot, though he did get let go a month or so later.

    • @keystrix3704
      @keystrix3704 Рік тому +52

      I thought the scowling head was kinda funny and the executioner's logic was a bit endearing. Reminds me of another thing I learned about those sorts of times through another famous executioner/torturer (I forgot his name): pregnant women got really nice and comfortable cells as well as delayed or forgiven punishments. She would basically get constant care and even good food to make sure the baby makes it before any real punishment is delivered. But if it's found out that the woman lied about being pregnant to get special treatment... oh boy, she would regret it.

    • @Late0NightPC
      @Late0NightPC Рік тому +88

      @@keystrix3704 If you're curious, I'd suggest looking into the Executioner some more. His name was Charles-Henri Sanson, and he's a fascinating person because of how absolutely not like what you'd think of an executioner.
      By the end of his duty, he had around 2900 executions to his name as a result of the French Revolution, and personally executed King Louis XVI who sparked the whole war, while his son would take up the profession and execute Marie Antoinette. A personal journal of his revealed he despised his job and wished he never had to do it, but chose to do it because someone had to, and he knew he could handle it respectfully despite his hatred of execution, so "better him than some other untrustworthy man" and all that.
      He even helped create the guillotine because he genuinely thought it was far better than execution via the Executioner's Blade. Executioners had to pay to repair the tools themselves, and with how heavy and unwieldy the blade was, it wouldn't always guarantee a clean single cut kill, and would exahust the Executioner making any executions later in the day even less likely to be swift and merciful. The guillotine would make sure that deaths were reliably swift and painless, reduce the strain on Executioner's bodies, but most of all, show the public how horrific the act really was. Which of course is ironically tragic, as the guillotine ended up becoming one of the most widely used and beloved tools of the time due to the insane amount of executions during that period.

    • @Miszorov
      @Miszorov Рік тому +40

      Given what we actually know about decapitation and human anatomy, a person who's head has just been cut off will instantly lose any cognitive function due to shock, and even if that somehow didn't happen, the pressure loss & massive hemorrhage simply knocks out any remaining chances of the person being conscious. Any stories about people blinking rapidly or making faces are either fabrications or are an exaggeration coming from a place of not understanding of muscle twitch responses or post mortem involuntary spasms.
