Potentially NSFW: Interesting picture find

Then there's the head. The blade's still swishing, and barely a foot away
- yet the head's neatly stationary down by the feet?

Anyway, isn't the curve of the blade the wrong way for it having gone
from front-to-back? And don't they normally go back-to-front?

So either the swordsman's done damn near a full 360, or...

 

How can you tell it's stationary? It wouldn't be moving anything like
as fast as the blade, so it looks like wuite a short exposure.

That was my take on it.

 

Definitely Photoshopped.

 

Something like that.

Here it is (again, potentally NSFW)

And a few more that I've quickly scanned this morning

http://petrolcan.me.uk/scan1.jpg (German gun at TsingTao is written on
the back of this one)

Now the next two are a little odd in that they are on postcards:

http://petrolcan.me.uk/scan2.jpg (nothing written on the back of this
one)

http://petrolcan.me.uk/scan4.jpg (NSFW, possibly)(printed on the back
is 'Johnny Stores. Camp-Karachi')

Turns out the last one was a commercial venture

Actually having scanned a few more this morning I'm quite glad that
they *didn't* have colour photography back then.

Of all the things people do to each other, there's something I find
particularly disturbing about decapitation.

 

It's the way the eyes move after it's happened. Reportedly.

 

it'll t-cut out.

 

I'm sure I read somewhere that the head lives on for a minute or so and the
decapitee (?) is conscious. Apparently some beheaded old royal gave the
executioner a look of utter contempt as her head was lying in the bucket.

 

Biochemically it's highly probable (AFAIK)

With headless chickens it tends to be the other way round.

just for 2 seconds I thought this was an ER ref.

 

Yes it was Charlotte Corday - I blame my inaccurate reportage on aged brain

I need to go off and lie down now.

Hard to know unless you are another chicken, or perhaps more likely a
cock.

People say Capital punishment doesn't work. That's down to a failure to
enact in public and method, 'cause I feel slightly deterred ;o)
