Warning.
This is the video.

Well, with a big knot (like this one) and a proper placement under the left chin (like this hanging), the shocking impact to the brain stem, transmitted via the vertebrae, will cause immediate unconsciousness.
The RAS (Reticular Activating System), a collection of ascending and descending neural pathways, interspersed by various nuclei, is the brain's system which controls consciousness and levels thereof. A sufficient blow to this area will knock you out, cold.
Just like a well-placed, full-power uppercut.
That reminds me of all the Hitler sightings as I was growing up, at least once a year...all from the National Enquirer of course.
Dictator's daughter told her father would hang as she enjoyed beauty salon
By IAN GALLAGHER, Mail on Sunday Last updated at 22:33pm on 30th December 2006
She was relaxing in the Dazzle beauty salon awaiting a hot stone body scrub when she got the call.
It was obviously something important or her personal assistant would not have risked invoking her volcanic temper by passing her the mobile phone mid-treatment.

Saddam appeared to smile at those taunting him from below the gallows. He said they were not showing manhood.
Then Saddam began reciting the "Shahada," a Muslim prayer that says there is no god but God and Muhammad is his messenger, according to an unabridged copy of the same tape, apparently shot with a camera phone and posted on a Web site.
Saddam made it to midway through his second recitation of the verse. His last word was Muhammad.
The floor dropped out of the gallows.
"The tyrant has fallen," someone in the group of onlookers shouted. The video showed a close-up of Saddam's face as he swung from the rope.
Then came another voice: "Let him swing for three minutes."

They believe in "Allah" which is the NAME of their god. Western journalists, not knowing any better because they are just plain stupid, think "Allah" means "god" in arabic, which is totaly untrue. The word "ilah" is arabic for god, Allah is the NAME of their god, as the Koran clearly tells us.
(Since the Muslim god is not the God of the bible, there is no need to use a capital letter for a rock idol)
Qur'an 5:4 "Pronounce the Name of Allah: and fear Allah; for Allah is swift in reckoning."
Qur'an 20:8 "Allah! There is no Ilah (god) save Him. His are the most beautiful Names. To Him belong the most beautiful attributes."
[and swollen ego]
Qur'an 21:107 "Say: (Muhammad) It is revealed to me that your Ilah (God) is only one Ilah (God). Will you submit to His Will? But if they (disbelievers, Christians, and Jews) turn away (from Islam) say: I give notice (of war) to be known to all. But I know not whether the (torment which you are) promised and threatened is nigh or far."
Qur'an 114:1 "Say: I seek refuge in the Lord of men and jinn [demons], the King of men and jinn, the Ilah (god) of men and jinn."
Satan is the master of the demons on this earth, and is who is generaly known to dwell in hell where he tortures people for eternity.
SO where does the Koran say we can find "Allah"?
Qur'an 68:44 "Then leave Me alone with such as reject this Message and call Our pronouncements a lie. Systematically by degrees, step by step, We shall punish them in ways they can not even imagine.">/i>
Qur'an 73:11 "Leave Me alone to deal with the beliers (those who deny My Verses). Respite those who possess good things for a little while. Verily, with Us are heavy shackles (to bind), a raging fire (to burn), food that chokes, and a torturous penalty of a painful doom."
Qur'an 104:4 "He will be sure to be thrown into that which breaks him into pieces, flung to the Consuming One. And what will explain that which Breaks him into Pieces, the Consuming One? It is the fire kindled by Allah."
Allah is in hell, kindling the fire. That should tell you who he really is.
In the beauty salon, and elsewhere in the Jordanian capital Amman, the 39-year-old mother of five, who is nicknamed "Little Saddam' because her temperament so closely resembles that of her father, is much-feared.
And like her father during his brutal reign, she is used to getting her own way, although unlike him she has relied on nothing sharper than her tongue.
Number 16 on the Iraqi government's most wanted list, Raghad took charge of family affairs after the capture of the dictator, assembling the international team of lawyers to defend him.
On the death of her brothers Uday and Qusay, killed by US troops in July 2003, Raghad and her sister Rana fled Iraq for neighbouring Jordan where, protected by paramilitary police officers, they are guests of the royal family.
It is not clear how much of her father's money Raghad escaped with, although if the stories about his ex-wives fleeing with millions in cash and gold bars are to be believed, she is unlikely to have been neglected.
Given her father's notoriety, one might expect Raghad to lead an anonymous, if not a humble, life in exile, especially as her mother Sajida and Saddam's three other wives all but disappeared without trace following the fall of Baghdad and are said to live under assumed names.
But Raghad, not one to shrink from the public gaze, went on TV on more than one occasion, at least in the months immediately after her father's capture, to defend him.
Of his arrest, she said: "Saddam was tranquillised when captured. He would be a lion even when caged. Every honest person who knows Saddam knows that he is firm and powerful."
Raghad enjoys a conspicuously extravagant lifestyle in Amman, largely funded, it is claimed, by her hosts.
Driven wherever she pleases by bodyguards, she has an almost comical appetite for designer clothes and accessories and shops with a gusto that would earn approval from the high-spending wives and girlfriends of England's footballers.
"She buys shoes by the sack load," said a woman close to Raghad's tight circle of friends.
"But the store owners are wary of her because she can be a difficult customer and nothing is ever good enough for her. There's a shop in Amman called Boutique de Francais that she goes to frequently where the staff are terrified of her."
Raghad is said to have a penchant for Gucci handbags and £400 Sergio Rossi boots and pays for them - or rather, her personal assistant pays for them - with a thick wad of crisp US dollars.
It is perhaps not surprising then that Raghad was pampering herself in a beauty salon rather than engaging in, say, a humanitarian act on behalf of her troubled people when she learned her father's fate last week.
If not out shopping she can often be found in Dazzle, or in the Iraqi-owned ladies' gym above it - Body Design - where she works out most mornings.
I was hoping a professional would come along
to explain all of this to me. Thank you.
As far as motive, Saddam still has a lot of
money and influence. And just for fun, he (like
Hitler), had many body doubles.
Shhhhh. Don't tell anyone, but I'm 99% sure
he's dead. I just didn't like the trench coat
and the bulky fabric around the neck.
Ezekiel 25:17
The path of the righteous man is beset on all sides by the inequities of the selfish and the tyranny of evil men. Blessed is he, who in the name of charity and good will, shepherds the weak through the valley of darkness, for he is truly his brother's keeper and the finder of lost children. And I will strike down upon thee with great vengeance and furious anger those who would attempt to poison and destroy my brothers. And you will know my name is the Lord when I lay my vengeance upon thee.
Thanks. It's actually the work of someone else.

Much better! I wonder if he would have preferred going feet first into a wood chipper like some of his victims died?
That depends where you dump all that cat litter. Hopefully it isn't near a village.
Gravity ping.
