yeah it's funny but not really. I was at the London Dungeon a few years ago and they had an exhibition about beheadings. A lot of people found it funny and I guess it was funny but still... I learned that Robbespierre was known for having the most beheadings in modern French history but only stayed in power for a year before being overthrown by the French.
I made Christmas cookies with all the reindeer names on them one year, and made sure to call one "Donder." Then I bit the head and leg off one more, covered it with icing blood, and named him Donner.
That was that last year anyone let me decorate the cookies.

Wednesday Addams had one of those.
That is too funny. I bet you that would be a huge hit on Etsy.
Oh! Someone knit me one! I'll purchase with actual money!
I want a hand knitted Anne Boleyn doll the way Veruca Salt wants everything! I want one so much, I've sprayed exclamation points all over your blog!
That's just awesome.
(I never knew I had this affinity for beheaded hand crafts, but this one pleases me. Think of the church bizarres...)
!!!
*laugh* that looks disturbingly tempting. I'm going to have to go through my craft supplies and see what I have on hand.
"Off with her head!" *throws it across the room*
*GASP*
I'm gonna knit one, then dress her up like Marie Antoinette! Madame DeFarge, indeed.

Reminds me of the Bastille day (headless) gingerbread man cookies I used to make....
