have you ever heard this saying? "those kids are running around like chickens with their heads cut off?"
where does it come from? can chickens actually do this?

yes, chickens can actually do that. No, I've never heard that saying.

I've heard it. And yes, chickens can run around after they've been decapitated.

I hate to admit to my southern-stereotypicalness, but yeah, that's true. My grandparents raised chickens and they ran around headless...in the south.

no head and running around....he'll never be the head of a major corporation, rh?

I've heard the phrase, never used it though

Not only have I heard the phrase . . . . I lived it.

Nice Thread.

Turkeys can do it as well.

Lies! Only chickens can do this magical ability.

Stands to reason that other animals could do it too srug

Yes...chickens do that. And I like the song. Shall lsiten to it. Very lovable song. Love song. is hould sing it to Fallen Jedi.

Eligible, not too stupid
Intelligiable, and cute as cupid
Knowledgeable, but not always right
Salavagable, and free for the night

Well my heart's runnin' round like a chicken with its head cut off
All around the barn yard falling in and out of love
Poor thing's blind as a bat
Gettin' up, fallin' down, gettin' up
Who'd fall in love with a chicken with its head cut off?

My wife doesn't understand me
Many dozens, hope to land me
I'm for free love
And i'm in free fall
This could be love
Or nothing at all

But my hearts runnin round like a chicken with its head cut off
All around the barn yard falling in and out of love
Poor thing's blind as a bat
Gettin' up, fallin' down, gettin' up
Who'd fall in love with a chicken with its head cut off?

We don't have to stars exploding in the night
Or electric eels under the covers
We don't have to be
Anything quite so unreal
Lets just be lovers

Well my heat's runnin' round like a chicken with it's head cut off
All around the barn yard falling in and out of love
Poor thing's blind as a bat
Gettin' up, fallin' down, gettin' up
Who'd fall in love with a chicken with its head cut off?

It ain't pretty

Humans can do it.

I've heard it used loads of times. It's possible, weirdly. Do they have brains in their feet, or something?

No. They are not alive as such. And the Brain is not controlling it, it's just the nerves still working I believe.

Yes, i've heard of soldiers geting their head blown off and still walking a few steps then dieing

i dont wanna find out.

My dad once saw a guy getting decapitated at work due to a crane cable snapping and the guys body ran about 10 yards before collapsing. He told me that when I was about 10 and it still f*cks me up when I think about it. My dad was a steelworker and he was totally shaken up when he came home from work that day, I can still vividly remember it.

ouchie.

it's called nerves people. Even though the head has been removed from the body the nerves in its body still work but only for a short period of time.
