A little history:
"The establishment of the French Republic on the autumnal equinox of 1792 (September 21, 1792 -- exactly 233 years ago this week) was the decisive moment of the Revolution -- the point at which France separated from a thousand-plus-past and became ruled by its people. It joined the United States as the second such nation, and men like Thomas Jefferson cheered.
The French celebrate their birthday on Bastille Day, July 14. The storm of the Bastille, that day, in 1789.
The guillotine was invented by a physician who was commissioned to devise / discover / develop a "humane death machine." The machine was adopted on March 20, 1792. March 20 would be on/near the spring equinox. And finally, the name of the physician: Dr Joseph-Ignace Guillotin.
