ok let me have a try at this:

real story, happened to the killer of our first glorious revolution leader king person :p (source wikipedia, but have also read it in more reliable sources)


The magistrates decreed that the right hand of Gérard should be burned off with a red-hot iron, that his flesh should be torn from his bones with pincers in six different places, that he should be quartered and disemboweled alive, that his heart should be torn from his bosom and flung in his face, and that, finally, his head should be taken off.[1]

In the first night of his imprisonment Balthasar Gérard was hung on a pole and lashed with a whip. After that his wounds were smeared with honey and a goat was brought to lick the honey off Gérard's bruised skin with his sharp tongue. The goat however refused to touch the body of the sentenced. After this and other tortures he was left the night with his hands and feet bound together, as a ball, so he couldn't sleep. During the following three days, he was repeatedly mocked and hung on the pole with his hands tied behind his back. Then a weight of 300 pounds (136 kg) was attached to each of his big toes for half an hour.

After this half hour Gérard was fitted with shoes made of well-oiled, raw dog's leather; the shoes were two fingers shorter than his feet. In this state he was put before a fire. When the shoes warmed up, they contracted, crushing the feet inside them to stumps. When the shoes were removed, his half-broiled skin was torn off. After his feet were damaged, his armpits were branded. After that he was dressed in a shirt soaked in alcohol. Then burning bacon fat was poured over him and sharp nails were stuck between the flesh and the nails of his hands and feet. Gérard is said to have remained calm during his torture

My first thought was flaying. Slowly, possibly with a white hot iron to cauterize the blood vessels to minimize blood loss.

seen this thread a dozen times, anyway.
(this applies to men only) youre in a burning shack, and your balls are in a table vice.

wait thought of another one: you know how they slice meat at a deli? like that, taking off about half a millimetre at a time, starting at your feet.

Recieving the highest possible electroshock that doesn't kill or makes you pass out while being underwater.

Muscles will cramp up painfully and as such you cannot swim up, slowly drowning while being in constant pain

Well you see, a long time ago there was this execution/torture technique called "sawing" [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sawing_(torture)]...[footnote] I should warn you that you shouldn't click that link if you don't want gruesome images in your head. it's pretty nasty.[/footnote]

Death from the shock of pain, but that pain is applied slowly. I.e., slowly forcing a blade covered in stinging nettles underneath your fingernails.

I don't know if anyone else has said these but...

1. Death by bamboo. Tying someone down and having bamboo grow through them. Slow, painful, might take ages for the bamboo to grow through a vital organ.

2. This one's just rank. Tie someone down in a big metal tub. Keep them fed and hydrated. Don't clean anything. Eventually they drown in a pool of their own excretions.

Being slowly crushed to death and unable to move... Millimeter by millimeter...

Wow. The Dutch are crueler than I thought.

Been injected with adreneline so your pain receptors cant block out the pain and you cant go into shock or faint, and then having someone bind you with chicken wire, and use a scalpel, blow torch, and pliers to remove the small segments of your skin one at a time, and if you're still alive at the end of that process, kicking you into a grave and dowsing you in petrol all over the raw wounds and lighting you up, with the promise that the same would be done to your loved ones and family ringing in your ears as you perish in the inferno.

Not counting conventional torture and dismemberment, drowning.

Ah yes, Balthasar Gerard, who murdered Willem van Oranje. (William the Silent?) Well, just imagine it this way - when someone assasinates Obama, don't you think a lot of Americans will be crying for blood?

And yes, the Dutch have cruel history. Our Golden Age, for example, is remembered for huge ships, lots of trade, colonies, and an overall improvement in wealth for everyone in the country.

What people forget is that there were also a lot of natives raped and killed. Our head of state forgets that when he talks about the 'VOC mentality'.

Probably death via brain vivisection. Essentially, you're given a local anesthetic to allow you to feel no pain as the top of your skull is removed, beautiful music and images play in front of you, then, over the course of several hours, a well-trained neurosurgeon removes pieces of your brain in sequence, beginning with high-order functions relating to the senses. Slowly the music looses its rhythm, beauty, and melody as you become tone-deaf, and then develop amusia, you watch as the beautiful images loose their color and vividness.

The surgeon continues to cut, removing more and more of your brain, but making sure to leave as much of your situational memories (Long term and short term) and higher reasoning skills intact. As you reach the end, you've lost your ability to speak and understand language, your ability to hear, see, smell, or feel anything, you've forgotten how to walk, to tie your shoes, tto use a fork and knife, or how to smile, you can no longer even wriggle in your restraints. All that's left is the parts of your mind that let you remember what you've lost, the reptilian, primitive core of your being, and the frontal sections that let you realize all the implications of what's happened to you, before finally the knife comes down, beginning to peel back layers of your reasoning one by one.

You feel yourself becoming less and less intelligent, your thoughts simplifying, loosing coherence. Eventually, you are reduced to nothing but a few neurons generating primal fear with memories of being something greater, before the surgeon makes the final cut, severing the medulla oblongata. Your heart and lungs stop instantly, and your remaining brain cells die over the course of several minutes, starved of oxygen.
..Have you by any chance watched Hannibal recently? The last victim has something done to him so, so similar.
