decapitation: you can feel your nose hit the ground when your head is chopped off

[ruthless29]

Someone told me that when a person is decaptitated they can feel there nose touch the ground... scientifically proven...
And that chickens, once their head is chopped off.. in the proper environment, they can continue to grow...and live for a while...
Is it true?

If this is the case, can someones (human beings) head be chopped off and with proper care, can they still be kept alive?

Someone also told me you could see for 60 seconds after your head as been chopped off.

I don't think humans would feel their head touch the ground... I dont' even want to know how someone thinks they could measure this.

Chickens will live for a couple of minutes without their head. You've heard the expression "running around like a chicken with its head cut off"... it exists for a reason.

Cockroaches (don't we just love them!) can live for a couple of WEEKS with their head chopped off.

The lower the species on the development chain, the longer it can live as its neurological system does less and less control of the organs.

It's possible but does it really matter? I mean your dead a few seconds after.

The state of our educational system is truly appalling.

don't blame the system, blame the student.

We need to try this then.
I can't volunteer though.

don't blame the system, blame the student.

Its more like 70% system's fault, 30% student's.

kinda like how athletes blame their equipment for their poor performance.

if you lost your head would you even notice

Trust me it's the system, take a look at pretty much any European educational system. One of their 50% students(there aren't many) can probably get 70-80% in Canada or US. Who would you say is to blame for that, the student or the system?

You mean Mike? He was one chicken who lived for a while after his head was chopped off, but it wasn't because of environment.

yeah, the blood left in your brain is enough to sustain your senses for several seconds. So you will definately know when & after your head has been chopped off.

One of my friends went down to Saudi Arabia and actually say one of the public decapitations they did on a criminal. He said he couldn't eat for a week. Basically a car pulls up with a hooded man, he comes out with his sword and cuts the person's head off.

Doesn't it disconnect you from your central nervous system wen your head gets cut off?
