Episode description
In 1945, a man named Lloyd Olsen tried to behead a chicken, but didn’t get a clean cut. The whole head came off, except for the brain stem, which remained intact. They learned it could be kept alive by feeding it food and water directly into its esophagus and it later became a national phenomenon.
