Mike

Do you know Mike?

He is one of the most famous animal on the internet

What makes it so famous?

Well firstly it is a chicken...
Next it live for nearly 23months...
Before choking to death

So far nothing so special...

Until I read this....

Within that 23months....
Mike lived for 18months WITHOUT its head

Yup... No head at all since the Chicken was 5months old

From Wiki
On September 10, 1945, farmer Lloyd Olsen of Fruita, Colorado, had his mother-in-law around for supper and was sent out to the yard by his wife to bring back a chicken. Olsen failed to completely decapitate the five-and-a-half month old bird named Mike. The axe missed the jugular vein, leaving one ear and most of the brain stem intact.

That how it manage to live...
Without the head...
The farmer started feeding the Chicken with liquid stuff like milk to ensure the chicken get to eat.
Then the farmer start a freak show of some kind and collect 25cents from ppl to see his Headless Chicken
Which helps him make around USD4500 during that time...
Counting till now it is around like USD50K
Man that guy is smart...

Too bad the chicken end up choking without enough air flow through its throat
And that's how Mike ends his legend....



I think we should go find some headless animal to earn some cash too...
