do most dead things move around for a while after decapitation? i heard snakes do.
do star fish really grow into two seperate organisms if you cut them in half?

" As the name suggests, the arms of the brittle stars are rather liable to break. This is actually an escape mechanism. Those arms regenerate quickly and an entire new organism can regenerate, if the broken arm is attached to a seizable portion of the disk. Brittle stars can reproduce asexually by self-division. Brittle stars are the most active and fastest moving echinoderms."
Brittle stars aren't quite starfish, but they're close cousins.
