@momurda I think they left the brainstem so that basic functions still worked and just scooped out the rest of the brain. Kind of like that headless chicken that lived for years:

@Nic WTF? that is crazy

Didn't grow up on a farm I guess. The entire term "running around like a chicken with its head cut off" comes from the fact that chickens continue to live for quite some time without a head.

The sick part is "When Mike did not die, Olsen instead decided to care for the bird. He fed it a mixture of milk and water via an eyedropper, and gave it small grains of corn."
Olsen is a psycho

Once you "keep going" when does it stop?

@DustinB3403 I am confused about why he only took one whack? Surely his MIL wasnt happy she had to go without chicken that night for dinner.

Yeah, always seemed weird to me. Was going to kill a chicken for dinner, but when it stayed alive it got promoted to pet?

So you kept a headless chicken alive for a few years too? Cause in the modern age that would be impressive, with the antibiotics and other medicine you could probably keep that thing alive for a decade or more.

How long does a healthy headed pet chicken live? Over a decade?

@scottalanmiller Yeah 8-10 on average as much as 20 years

WOW! This is exactly what has happened to me at my current employer. The working conditions slowly got worse over time and I didn't notice it. Finally I work up and I was like wow. I went from being occasionally called every once in a blue moon to being called every single weekend to help someone do something. I haven't had a weekend off since the weekend of my wedding in January, I can't remember before that how long it had been to have a weekend devoid of work calling me for some reason. Even then I had to put out three emails before my wedding saying I was unavailable that weekend. I am putting in long hours but I fall behind because they refuse to address key issues. So I have put my resume out.
