hickens can live without a head
True, and not just for a few minutes. A chicken can stagger around without its noggin because the brain stem, often left partially intact after a beheading, controls most of its reflexes. One robust fellow lived a full eighteen months. Likely he was a real birdbrain, however.
More myth examples:
- You get less wet by running in the rain
- A dog's mouth is cleaner than a human's
- The five second rule
- A penny dropped from the top of a tall building could kill a pedestrian
