'mike the headless chicken' and other random things

everyone, meet mike the headless chicken (1945-1947)

mike is arguably the most famous chicken to ever live! why? because mike was a rooster that lived for 18 months after his head was chopped off and his neck was left severed. the story goes that a farmer was sent by his wife to fetch mike from their backyard to cook for dinner. somehow the farmer managed to chop off mikes head, leaving one ear and most of the brain stem intact. for some reason, the farmer decided to leave the chicken the way it was and so poor mikey slept in the pen with it's loose head under its wing! awww, and so with this touching tenacity to life, the farmer decided to care for mikey permanently.

mikey the headless chicken continued to function normally, despite not having a head and seeing where it was going, however mikey did gain better balance hehehe. after being recognized and gaining some fame, mikey and the farmer started doing road-shows, together with other uh, unique animals such as the two-headed calf. one night while touring, little mikey started choking on his own mucus and died. usually the farmer would clear the mucus with a syringe at home, but he had forgotten to bring it along for the tour.

today 'mike the headless chicken' is an actual institution in colorado, and they even have an annual 'mike the headless chicken day' on the third weekend of may.

hmm, i wonder if this story is where the famous 'chicken dance' originated from hehehe.

apple crumble

i bought myself a very appealing apple crumble from my local shopping centre the other day. as a treat, i prevented myself from touching it until i got home. as a dessert, i expected it to be deliciously appetizing. it was down right aweful! it was as if i was eating a bag of flour! i gave up after the first spoonful and left the rest of it for the birds in my backyard to eat. if it wasn't half as bad i would of at least attempted to finish it off, but it was just gross. i can't believe how good it looked!
