There is a holiday that is called Mike the Headless Chicken Day.
This day became a holiday when long ago a farmer owned a chicken
which he named Mike. The
farmer decided that he would rather cut Mike’s head off, prepare him for
dinner and eat him. Mike
surprising lived for four years after the initial incident when his head
was chopped off. He ended up dying, not from his wound, but from choking on a
corn kernel.
