see some of the heads they put on pikes.

Vlad? Is that you?

The head is not where Vlad put the pike, and the victims were alive at
the time. Not really a pike in his case, the proper stake is as high
as the navel, greased, and tapers from four inches at the ground to a
rounded point like half a golf ball. There is a reason that the
Constitution prohibits cruel and unusual punishments.
