Movie of recently decapitated iraqi's show a head being removed from the first individual. This head after being placed on its own body, proceeds to make an ugly face and sticks his tongue out at the captors...
1st beheading (alive head)
2nd beheading
Well a quick search on yahoo revealed that the head actually remains conscious a few seconds after being removed.

When I went to search on yahoo to see if the head lives after the beheading, I came across this news link.

My last search came across a interesting read, where successful head transplants have been done to monkeys.
Head/body Transplant Somewhat interesting...
Putting this all together, I now realize the future of aesthetics and medicine. Complete body transplants for ur head. If ur body gets crushed, its cool. Just borrow another body.
Quiet interesting.
