[HAVOC]

The electric chair was invented by a dentist.
Dr. Alfred P. Southwick developed the idea of using electric current as a method of execution when he saw an intoxicated man die after touching an exposed terminal on a live generator. As Southwick was a dentist accustomed to performing procedures on subjects in chairs, his electrical device appeared in the form of a chair.

In 1887, after a particularly gruesome and bloody hanging was reported, New York State established a committee to determine a new, more humane system of execution to replace hanging. Neither Thomas Edison nor Nikola Tesla—as part of the War of Currents—wanted their electrical system to be chosen because they feared that consumers would not want in their homes the same ("dangerous") type of electricity used to kill criminals.

It is legal to shoot a Welshman with a long bow without warning or fear of prosecution if they are within the city walls of the City of Chester after dark and are unaccompanied by a official escort.

I think she was getting ideas, as her friend has a long bow and she lives in Chester
