If you want a deterrent, go back to the mongol wishbone tactic. (It's a 4-way split). Couldn't beat the Persion's method: scaphism.

You use two stacked boats to make a box sort of like a magician uses to saw a person in half, with head/arms/legs sticking out. You cover the culprit in honey and force him to drink honey and milk until he is ready to burst then you put him in a swamp. The critters then take care of it over a few days. Whoever came up with that one must have been really ticked at the first guy who got this treatment.

Interesting, but probably only something people would watch the higlights of. Short attention spans and all that.

Of course, it is hard to horrify a multitude which views slaughter every night on TV or engages in it via video games. Without that, the deterrent falls victim to desensitization.

In the '50s, just the idea of a visit to ol' Sparky, or the gas chamber was enough to get many thinking. Not so any more.
