Having seen this bit of news : 'Miracle' Woman Survives Internal Decapitation in Car Crash

I was immediately reminded of the following gemora (shabbat 107b):

And the Lord shall take away from thee all sickness....Samuel said: This refers to the wind. Samuel follows his views, for he said: All [illness] is caused by the wind. But according to Samuel, what of those executed by the State? — Those, too, but for the wind [which enters and plays upon the wound], an ointment could be compounded for them, and they would recover.

I was thinking of King Charles who was beheaded by Cromwell. They reatached his head afterwards out of respect but it was too late ....

That's funny because a lot of the dinim of "vahavta lreyecha kmocha" are learned out in the Gemara in reference to the dead bodies of executed sinners.....

Which dinim?

This is a cool thread, because after each post the front h.com has something like: "Putting Decapated Head Back On [username]", and the name keeps changing...

Yeah, and since hardly anyone comments on the gemara section you get to have your decapitated head put back on for a long time until someone finally decides to commment.

ôñé÷ øéùà åìà éîåú?

Tread carefully. Right now its only decapitated head, you don't want to lose the hat also.

says the head without a body.

to the hat without the head.

Still here
