That's creepy as fuck.
Years and years ago after catching a trout, my friend killed it (as you do if you're going to eat it) and cut the heart out. Putting the heart, on its own, in a glass jar... it kept pumping, it was pumping the water through it.
For... a good 10 minutes! It would stop, you'd bump the glass, and it's start up again for a little bit.
Damn, damn freaky... where the hell did it get the energy to do it was my thought?
Weird.

Energy is produced and stored by the individual cells of an organism, so cellular processes can continue until the individual cells expend their energy stores.
>> ^Lordoderus:
Maybe snakes just have a weird nervous system that keeps just sending signals for a minute or two.
This probably happens because the snake's nervous system is not weird, with a brain located in the skull. Again, as long as the individual cells have some remaining energy stores, they will continue to function. The rest of this is speculation on my part, but it's possible all the snake "knows" is that his whole body just went numb and he's getting increasingly groggy. Tail whipping could be a result of now-uninhibited spinal neurons firing more-or-less randomly.
The guillotine is a well performed beheading. And, hypothetically anyway, I would rather take my chances with 'as long as a minute afterwords' than days for a hanging. One guy supposedly walked away after 3 days of hanging, so they changed the lay to read 'until dead' in case 3 days wasn't enough.
a lot of the time they would let people go if they went for very long without dying in a hanging, claiming divine intervention. why they didn't just shoot the hanging body will forever be a mystery.
Newsweek, May 7, 2007.
"Consider someone who has just died of a heart attack. His organs are intact, he hasn't lost blood. All that's happened is his heart has stopped beating—the definition of "clinical death"—and his brain has shut down to conserve oxygen. But what has actually died?"
It turns out the death process is a little more complicated than once thought.
Persephone asks: Why is there a cow mooing at the end?
Because their voiceboxes are incapable of screaming in horror like humans? X D
It turns out the death process is a little more complicated than once thought.
I think the biggest issue behind our misunderstanding of death was viewing life at the level of the organism. Once you recognize that a given organism is simply a collection of cells the process of death (not to mention disease or dysfunction) begins to make a lot more sense. However, there's still the prickly matter of consciousness, which not only throws a spanner into the works on the matter of death, but even defies our currently accepted model of the physical universe.
I would like to think that, and have in the past, but I've come to the conclusion that the prosaic materialist definition of consciousness has more evidence for it.
At any rate, I hope to live to the time when science lets us definitively understand these kinds of mysteries.
