Storm, you've been asked a couple times - at least - to put your threads in appropriate folders. Please try to do so.

Alright Storm, I'm not trying to be a grammar nazi, but this has been starting to really bug me and you do it quite often:

This is a statement, not a question. A period ('.') goes after it, not a question mark ('?').

Why continue? Because we must. Because we have the call. Because it is nobler to fight for rationality without winning than to give up in the face of continued defeats. Because whatever true progress humanity makes is through the rationality of the occasional individual and because any one individual we may win for the cause may do more for humanity than a hundred thousand who hug their superstitions to their breast.

No need to apologize, I have just seen it in a few too many places for it to be just a typing error. And the problem is that sometimes it could change the entire tone of a sentence, and sometimes it isn't clear whether you are making a mistake or you really mean it to be a question.

Just something to look out for.

I haven't...
But a chicken living three days without its head sounds absolutely, uh, absurd, to say the least.

I'm sure it's possible. Stop the blood loss and, well, I dunno. Chickens don't apparently need their heads to run around, so maybe their basic life support organs don't need the head to function either.

With the right equipment, I'm sure a human being can 'live' a long time without his head. But then that get's into the argument of what is 'living.' I think for humans, we consider the last bastion of life to be the brain. Get rid of the brain and you're not alive.

Is that so with a Chicken though? Afterall, from our POV, the best part of the chicken is the breast. So, can the chicken be considered to be alive WITH it's head but lacking the breast? What's the point if the breast is gone? But, in any case, nobody value's a chicken's head, at least not the way we value most of the rest of it and certainly not the way we value our own heads. So, sure, it's alive if the rest of it's body is function even though it doesn't have a head.

It appears Mike the headless chicken was not entirely headless. Most of his brain stem and one ear were left intact.

I would rather face a cold reality than delude myself with comforting fantasies.

The brain stem's pretty important to the automatic functions of the various organs in the body. It's more like getting the 'top' of your head cut off. . . .

The brainstem controls autonomic functions. It would require a serious effort to maintain a human body "alive" without it, if it could be accomnplished at all.
