I guess lopping off from the front (thereby cutting the windpipe and voice box / vocal chords) doesn't allow you to scream either. So I wonder which direction they hacked away at Nick Berg from, and why he screamed if it's all so painless.
When I first started watching the beheading vids, the terrorists would use a machete or a katana to sever heads. The last one I saw, it looked like they used a pocket knife. So, I can understand what KK is saying. The person is usually screaming even before the cutting starts. The screams never really change pitch (like from regular I'm so afraid scream to blood curdling scream). I think that it may seem more painful than it really is.
There is a video of a Serbian soldier severing someone's head. I was sure that when you feel the knife make the first cut, you would do everything to get out of the position. But it was like he didn't really know that they were cutting. He was screaming with his mouth closed and when they cut open his esophagus, it sounds like he opens his mouth.
well why dont you and Kitty go out and try some of these,and then get back here and tell us which ones are the best....hey inquiring minds...
