HEADLESS AND POINTLESS EXPERIMENTATIONBack in the day I was one of those evil vivisectionists.
I was studying the effects of neurotransmitters on aggression in the ringdove (streptopelia risoria). I used to have to cut the heads of the poor little critters before dissecting their brains (believe it or not the fastest and least cruel way of killing them - ask any pigeon fancier for collaboration of this). Their wings used to flap a lot once the head was removed.
Three years later I was able to get a PhD for explaining why doves can't fly once their heads were cut off.
They can't see where they are going.
Edit: Re malapropist error pointed out below - he's right. Mea culpe. Last time I post something here drunk.

You have a PhDbut don't know the difference between collaborate and corroborate? Dear me.
