Anyone else feeling validated out there tonight?
Cats - It’s Habbening.
It is indeed.
Starting to feel validated! Good to see you.
Validated by what just came out, as noted by bitt here?:

Yes.
It’s habbening ...
Mary was blindfolded, laid her head on the block and stretched her arms wide to signal the executioners axe.
The first blow hit the back of her head.
Accounts vary on if Mary cried out from the pain or remained silent. However as this was a chop wound (a mix of sharp force and blunt force trauma) its most likely that Mary felt excruciating pain for a few seconds, before losing consciousness.
The axes second blow hit her neck, severing it almost entirely. With one third chop needed to separate Mary’s head from her body.
The executioner then picked Mary’s head up by the hair, held it forth to the crowd and proclaimed
‘God save the Queen’
At which point, he lost grip on the head as Mary’s wig fell off, revealing her greying hair (something people were shocked about, despite the fact she was 44 and they’d just witnessed her bloody execution)
And with that macabre farce, the story of Mary Queen of Scots came to an end.
Moral of the story: Sometimes it takes a couple of whacks to knock off the queen.
