And it's Christmas?

I don't want to die getting impaled with anything, be it a knife, spear, of thousands or needles. I can't stand tearing flesh. Though, the worst that I've heard is from my dad about an ancient way of killing people: basically, a person is tied to five horses, with his two arms, two legs, and head. Then, the horses run in five different directions and the person is... torn asunder...
