Well, this is bizarre, there's a website that'll show everyone who was executed (apparently worldwide) on any given day. 

So, I decided to put in March 30th (my bday) and found the following people were executed that day...

On this date in 1781, the Spanish social bandit Diego Corrientes Mateos was hanged and quartered in Seville.
On this day in 1883, Emeline Lucy Meaker was hanged for the murder of her nine-year-old sister-in-law and ward, Alice.


Damn, that's depressing...

She was the first woman executed in Vermont

Kazimierz Lyszczynski had his tongue torn out, his head struck off and his body burned to ashes which were shot from a cannon

Course, there's speculation he may have been accused of that "crime" by some guy who owed him money. 

But the latest kill for that date is 2011 When Three Philippines were executed in China for drug smuggling (although some source say three, two women and one man) were set up.

So, how about you guys?  Anyone morbidly curious about this?  If so, you can do your own research at the site here http://www.executedtoday.com
