  1. A p***s.


  2. A chicken.  A well known one was kept alive for months due to its head was not completely taken off.  Some of the vital brain stem remained and was fed by a tube. Not very nice but true!!

  3. A cockroach i think for some days.it dies then .that too because of lack of food.read somewhere

  4. The Headless Horseman!!!

    Ha ha ha!!!

    :)

  5. The bodiless head lives on too, waving its antennae about for several hours, says Charles Choi in Scientific American magazine. To understand how a roach and other insects can survive decapitation, it's instructive to understand why people can't. First, the blood loss and drop in blood pressure would stop the flow of oxygen and vital nutrients, and we'd bleed to death. Plus, brainless, we couldn't breathe; mouthless, we couldn't eat.

    The roach neck, in comparison, would seal off by clotting, so there'd be no uncontrolled bleeding. And little holes, or spiracles, pipe air directly to each body segment. A cold-blooded roach can survive for weeks after just one meal. From cockroach decapitation, scientists can learn about glands and maturation, metamorphosis and reproduction in insects generally. As entomologist Christopher Tipping remarks, a headless roach that can still stand, react to touch and move has much to teach people about how insect neurons operate.

  6. a chicken

    never heard the saying running around like a headless chook?

    thats coz they can!!

  7. A cockroach =]

  8. Cockroach.

    They can live up to 9 days without their heads but they only die afterwards due to starvation. Duh, they don't have heads, how else can they eat? :))

  9. seems 2 be you, cause you dont even need to use yours

  10. My ex-wife lived like this for years.  You can guess what she thought with.  (hint:  a man ain't got one)

  11. Worms, I think if you cut them in pieces they still move

  12. I'm thinking cockroach but it only could live without its head for a week or so. I read that a duck or goose or something can live for months without its head. But a person who owned a headless goose reported that it choked on a corn kernel and died.

  13. none, some creatures can live a little while without their head but none can live without any head

  14. cockroach

  15. I read somewhere a cockroach will live nine days without its head, before it starves to death!!!.

  16. Chicken but that for a few seconds only. There is also the Roaches, roaches can live without their heads for up to a month.

    Roaches:

    1. There are 18 different kinds of roaches in Hawaii.

    2. Roaches prefer humid, dark places where food is readily available.

    3. Females lay their egg cases in dark hiding places.  Each egg case carries about 40 little roach eggs in it.  Gestation time is quick, and the little ones usually hatch at three weeks.  They can put out as much as 8 egg cases in a year.

    4. Roaches have been known to live for up to five years.

    5. Roaches can live without their heads for up to a month.

    6. It's hard to starve a roach to death.  He'll eat anything, including the paste on your envelopes.

    7. A roach tastes with his feet.

    8. Cockroach droppings aggravate allergies and the insects are known to carry multiple diseases.

    9. Cockroaches bite... Nasty bites too!
