As someone with no previous knowledge of this topic, I thought the link on the main page referred to an execution type of hanging. I was thoroughly confused after clicking on the link. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 192.52.218.45 ( talk) 00:43, 1 April 2009 (UTC)

I was thoroughly amused by this joke, I had heard about the paintings on BBC but I completely forgot. Keep it up until tomorrow. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 96.241.121.25 ( talk) 01:01, 1 April 2009 (UTC)

Why aren't the images shown? They're notable. Just the photo of Cowen is not really. -- Evertype· ✆ 10:18, 8 May 2009 (UTC)
