KIND OF OFFENSIVE TO CHRISTIANS, ISN'T IT?:

Saudi court upholds child rapist crucifixion ruling (Reuters, 11/03/09)

A Saudi court of cassation upheld a ruling to behead and crucify a 22-year-old man convicted of raping five children and leaving one of them to die in the desert, newspapers reported on Tuesday.

Peter insisted that he be crucified head down, rather than up, lest he appear to be presumptuous. But it's a helpful reminder of just how radical Christ's execution was, not just for God to die but in the worst way known.
