Dearest Everyone;
Some information you may not have wanted to know. This was at the bottom of an article on Gold on Lew Rockwell.com today.
Heads Up! Watch where you're headed! Go to the head of the line! Don't get in over your head! It's all over your head!

And now for something really interesting. We have always wondered what happens when you get your head cut off. Do you black out immediately? Or, do you have some brief time to reflect on life without a body? Do you have time to curse the executioner?
Thankfully, the Daily Mail provides answers:
"Generally...it appears to take around 30 seconds to lose consciousness after decapitation. We know this from the French Revolution and the liberal use of the guillotine. The condemned were asked to blink if they were still alert after their heads have been removed from their body. Records show that it took between 20 and 30 seconds for the heads to stop blinking."
