   Neurologists tell us that we have a brain in our guts; quite an   
   extensive neuronal network that handles digestion. Our hearts also have   
   their neurons.   
   And then there's muscle-memory which comes into play with bike-riding,   
   playing piano or guitar, swimming etc.   
   What about OCD? People feel the need to perform some ritual counting or   
   wiping; as if to satisfy some need of which they're not conscious.   
      
   All this makes me wonder if a person is really dead if you cut off his head.   
   Chickens can sometimes run around for minutes after decapitation. This   
   one survived 18 months;
