  I read a novel about Marco Polo or some such thing that had a graphic description of "Death of 1000 Cuts". It was a form of capital punishment. The royal executioner or torturemeister or whatever had charted the exterior of the human body and written each little piece down on a slip of paper and put all 1000 slips in a drum.

So it was a sort of a perverse lottey in that a younger, stronger person would suffer for days or weeks longer than an older person.
