Thanks for the link. About half of them seemed to me to be common sense. However, at least one of them took me by suprise.

Chickens can live without a head
True, and not just for a few minutes. A chicken can stagger around without its noggin because the brain stem, often left partially intact after a beheading, controls most of its reflexes. One robust fellow lived a full eighteen months. Likely he was a real birdbrain, however.
anybody want to test this one?

So a chicken does not need to eat for 18 months? Surely they meant 18 minutes
