Now For Something Completely Morbid...


LUCID DECAPITATION

Not normally something I would blog about, but this article I came across while browsing Digg had me so intrigued, I just had to finish reading it.

"Since the very beginnings of the practice, there has been much speculation and debate regarding the length of time that the head can remain conscious after its removal. Many argue that a beheaded person will almost instantly lose consciousness due to a massive drop in blood pressure in the brain, and/or the heavy impact of the decapitation device. But there are countless eyewitness reports in history describing a few moments of apparent awareness in the victim."

As usual, click on the blog title for the rest of the article.
