Throwing out the baby with the bath water

My word of the day:
Decollated.
Meaning beheaded.

Replacement punishment for being drawed and quartered:
Being defenestrated and decollated.
Not just available in Prague.

And according to the picture, being run down by a car may be substituted in for the defenestration part.

And then I wonder why I have nightmares.

You must mean a substitute for the decollation part. That person in the picture has clearly already been defenestrated.

I guess I mean either part. The numbers along the side represent the equivilent impact between being run down by a car at a certain speed and falling from a particular storey.
