Thanks guys. I get these rather bloody questions every now and again. Sounds a bit mean? It's actually because I find stuff like that interesting. Like cutting arteries, removing brains, ripping beating hearts out... etcetera.
Oh, and by the way Tsu-Tsu, it was the Mayans that practiced heart-ripping. Can't remember anything about the Incas though.
And Meotwister, I am no specialist in medical or biological knowledge, and my school.... Er, let's avoid that. I'm just curious how strong the Sternum is?
