I couldn’t help but to think on stories my older brother told us about chickens running around with their heads cut off. :dubious:

Perfectly true. They can go for ages.

Do they really run in a coordinated fashion? I thought they just sort of spasmed and kicked about in a way that might move them about some.

Mike the Headless Chicken

The pilot (McWatt) cut in half a guy (Kid Sampson) standing on a pontoon. I recalled it as deliberate, but I see Wiki says it was an accident. But in any case it was on a pontoon, not a beach, and no jumping was involved.

Um…

Next time? When you bother to tell someone they quoted a book incorrectly?

Open the book. Look for the passage.

This keeps happening, doesn’t it?
The leg of Jessica Medina was broken by Renato Suarez’s head while he was trying to retrieve his wife’s lost hat underneath the “Top Gun” roller coaster at Paramount’s Great America in 1998. Suarez died. Lawsuits unsued from both Medina and Suarez’s family.

The bright side is that the body of the kid who was killed now holds his high school record for the 100 yard dash.

Not a good time to lose one’s head.

That’s not the way to get ahead in life.

It’s a shame he wasn’t more headstrong.

He’ll never be the head of a major corporation.

Okay, that’ll do.

One more won’t hurt.

He should have quit while he was ahead.

That one might have been too cerebral for this thread.

I didn’t expect anyone to go head over heels for it. Anyhoo, the only other choice involved eating salami for lunch beforehand and I felt that was inappropriate.

What I’m wondering is if his head was punted off by the foot of someone riding the roller coaster.

The Atlanta Falcons just released their punter May 22nd. Do you think this was someone trying out?

People point to an incident like this and call it a “senseless death.” But hey, it’s provided us with a fair amount of entertainment.

Too bad the newspapers didn’t have such great headlines.

The headlines were on the girl’s foot.

Do you think their relationship got off on the wrong foot when he lost his head?

She shouldn’t kick something she hasn’t tried yet. But give’em an inch and they’ll take a foot. Maybe she couldn’t toe the line.

Maybe he shoud try looking at her from another ankle?

I hope they put up some kind of sign near the Batman coaster to mark his passing… maybe something like this.

I think it was the roller coaster that passed. He stayed behind.

You’ve heard of Batman’s enemy Two-Face? Well, meet No-Face.

When the park typed the letter expressing condolences, did they use a header or a footer?

We’re going to hell and I’m driving the bus. 'Cause I called it, that’s why! DOWN IN BACK!
