The Atlantic unearthed the patent, describing how an animal’s “discorporated” head could be supplied with nutrients and oxygenated blood through a series of tubes. Gross. And the diagrams accompanying the patent show not an animal head but a human one. Gross and creepy.
Here, for you visual learners, is an old video which outlines a similar system and then shows it in action, the footage culled from a Russian experiment with a dog. Yeeps.

I am certainly no PETA supporter but something like this makes me sad.

Wednesday, November 17, 2010 at 5:47 PMIsn’t this (the video at least) just that hoax where they stuck the dogs head through the table?
yeah, it looks like it, the dog picks it’s head up off the table at the end

When they hit the hammer on the table you see the dog move his head as it it was attached to his neck. I cant think of any muscles in the head of a dog (other than its tongue) that is strong enough to move its entire head…
