Keep your head on your shoulders.... actually not essential....

"Mike's will to live remains an inspiration. It is a great comfort to know you can live a normal life, even after you have lost your mind."
One bored rainy night a few years ago I decided to sit down and use the internet for one of it's best possible usages. I was going to read up on conspiracy, legends and anything that was seen against the norm.

That night I read about Yeti sightings in WWII and the story of Sweeny Todd, the demon barber of Fleet Street. However one story really struck me and is something that comes into my head to this day.

Mike the Headless Chicken literally lost his head when his owner chopped his head off, to prepare him for dinner. Strangely Mike lived for 18 months! Anyway the official website gives you all the gory details of the incident and his career that followed. SO I suggest you visit www.miketheheadlesschicken.org and maybe you will be as sucked into the legend as I was.
