Surprise!



You thought the guillotine is ancient French history, right?

Well, here’s a shocker:

The guillotine was the legal method of execution in France until 1981, when capital punishment was abolished.




The iconic terror of the French Revolution was last used in 1977 to publicly behead a murderer named Hamida Djandoubi.
