Anubis the Jackal 77 Posted December 29, 2006 'Hang' in there, Saddam. May Auld Acquaintance and all that. Maybe he should request that his last meal be that chicken stuffed in goat, stuffed in camel malarkey, that should see him in to 2007. (edit... found the recipe; From the Al Hasa cookbook -a more than 400 page compilation of recipes compiled by the women's groups, and published in 1976. This recipe from Jo Waters of Abqaiq: 1 medium camel 4 lambs 20 chickens (roasted) 150 eggs (boiled) 40 kilos tomatoes Salt and seasonings Stuff eggs into tomatoes, stuff tomatoes into chickens, stuff chickens into lambs, stuff lambs into camel. Roast until tender Serves 150 people.) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Maybe he should request that his last meal be that chicken stuffed in goat, stuffed in camel malarkey, that should see him in to 2007.[...] Roast until tender Serves 150 people There's no requirement that the condemned finish his last meal before he's executed, is there? regards, Hein Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Magere Hein 1,400 Posted December 29, 2006 (edited) Saddam will be executed before 3 am on the morning of the 30th December Breaking News The only thing that can stop it is lawyers delaying tactics & so on. Looks like it's going to happen. Can't say I mind. or also here Execution at 6am Iraqi time Edit to add: got me thinking, why are executions often performed at such ungodly hours like 6 am? regards, Hein Edited December 29, 2006 by Magere Hein Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Has there ever been another case on DL where we can actually do a countdown to the death? (or would have been able to if he'd actually been on the 2006 deathlist). Let's see. Reuters has just announced that Brooke Astor will choke on a walnut and die at 23:00 on 31 December. Followed at 23:59 by Jane Wyman. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I wonder will they be hanged one after the other or will it be a triple-header? Makes me even gladder I haven't submitted my DDP or HDP teams yet. They normally do multiple hangings simultaneously, so I am betting on all three going at the same time. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Canadian Paul 97 Posted December 30, 2006 why are executions often performed at such ungodly hours like 6 am? Possibly because any attempted rescue in the twilight would have the same chance of shooting up Sadaam and co. as the guards and executioners. According to Time and Date, sunrise isn't until after 7:00 AM. I wonder will they be hanged one after the other or will it be a triple-header? Makes me even gladder I haven't submitted my DDP or HDP teams yet. I agree with Football Fan, most likely all at the same time. Makes rescue attempts more difficult? Agreed on the submission of teams, although now I have to find two more names... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
