On other matters chickenesque, one of the most celebrated residents of Fruita, Colorado, was apparently Mike the Headless Chicken. Back in 1945, local farmer Lloyd Olsen sliced off the head of that night's dinner, only to discover that the bird was perfectly fine and remained alive for several weeks after. Local residents were apparently heard to comment "he was a big fat chicken who didn't know he didn't have a head" and "he seemed as happy as any other chicken".
