This is a question Killed to DEATH

Speedevil asks: What have you killed? Accidentally, or on purpose. Concepts, species, a man in Reno, the career of a well-known entertainer, or anything else.

Durable buggers chickens

It's been proven a chicken can go on living without a head. Something to do with the memories of the muscles I guess.

Nah
I remember this story. The chicken had enough of its brainstem still attached to control basic motor movements like breathing and heartrate, but not enough for anything else. But being a chicken, who'd notice?

I'm not sure if it would work on a human - you could probably stay alive in the technical sense of having working lungs and a beating heart without most of your brain, although I can't see any volunteers hurrying forward to test it.
