if it was a pets head falling off I'd probably be more excited to jump in with a witless "cultural" reference.

my first guess was that he didn't actually detach his head and rather the spine was severed near the neck area and he was just mostly dangling

Like Nearly Headless Nick

When I was in the fire academy, one of the instructors was telling a story of a paramedic he worked with for years who responded to a call of an injured infant. No other details because the mother on the phone was frantic. Gets to the scene and the mother is holding the baby wrapped in a blanket. He asks to see the baby. She hands it to him and the baby's head falls off and rolls across the kitchen floor. The boyfriend got mad at the mom about something so chopped the baby's head off with a meat cleaver. Paramedic quit that day.

It appears to be a separation between the occipit (skull base) and the atlas (top vertebra) internally. I don't think there's much associated soft tissue damage. Still probably a bitch to put back together and is usually instantly fatal.

Well at least I refrained from putting it in the parenting thread.

Dude... Wow!

If from what I can surmise is true, no. It doesn't appear that this separation/fracture requires a spinal cord injury. Happy news maybe!

what's the deal with cupcakes? they're small enough to discourage silverware but they don't fit in any normal person's mouth, so you're either eating the top or the bottom or getting messy. just a dumb concept

thats a pretty good point. and these gourmet cupcake places where it is like $5 for one cupcake-- have to be kidding with these prices.

get a mini cupcake or grab a friend and share the big one!

Still messy!

Muffins kick ass tho. The muffins from winco foods are simply glorious.

use a napkin after you finish your fun treat!
