Top 20 Science Myths

02/15/2006 3:29 PM

Livescience.com has a list of the top 20 science myths of all time. Interestingly enough, not all of them are false.

Who knew you could actually run around like a chicken with it's head cut off.

Mikey, the Headless Chicken

02/20/2006 3:53 PM

The chicken that lived for 18 months was named Mikey and was originally headed to the pot, but the beheader gave Mikey a second chance when he survived the chopping.

Mikey was fed with an eyedropper after loosing his head. Most of his brain stem remained intact and Mikey was part of a road show after his sudden weight loss program.

Mikey finally died when he choked to death, 18 months later. I don't know exactly how that happened, maybe he got caught in the rain without an umbrella.
