@ Taunt9000: Think of this "death sentence" the same as it was with the Saint-Exupery' "Le Petit Prince". There was that king on one planet kept awoke at nights by the rat - the only other inhabitant of the planet, so he sentenced her to death, but decided to pardon her instead of executing, then sentence her again. then pardon once again and so on, 'cuz he needed someone to get sentenced every now and then, but couldn't waste the only candidate by really executing her, so he chose to keep pardoning her instead.

Edit: I just now remembered a fun euphemism in french mentioning "death". Could it be that the Queen has sentenced us to "la petite mort"?

(Will write the WWYD-answer later.)
