      From: ed@somewhere.in.the.uk              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.
