If you had your head chopped off, for how long would you be aware of your surroundings? ?

Question

There is a story that Mary,Queen of Scots, carried on praying after she'd been decapitated.

Answer 1

The theory is a few minutes, but never having been decapitated I really don't know.

Answer 2

I think your brain can only last about 11 seconds when parted from the body. They say that Mary, Queen of Scots did keep moving her lips after her beheading, yes - it just helped the rumours of her being a witch ha ha

Answer 3

dude once its cut off, you would even know you're dead ^_^
